question
So lets say you have a CD. a friend wants a copy - so you burn them a copy.
is this illegal?
another scenario: you belong to a local music group for kids. the leader wishes to collect favorite CDs from families and make a kind of "group CD" to play at the weekly music group meeting. if you'd like, she'd also make you a copy of the music being played at the meeting. you can play it at home or in the car w/ your kids. these CDs are all bought "Fair and square" by other members and will be burned/copied by the group leader.
is this illegal?
A woman in the group i belong to says she's "morally opposed" to burning CDs b/c it's stealing from the musicians.
I was always under the impression that as long as you don't go around and sell the copies or use them for public use, it's okay.
discuss. give me answers/links. help!
