RIAA vs. Jeffrey Howell

"In legal documents in [RIAA's] federal case against Jeffrey Howell, a Scottsdale, Ariz., man who kept a collection of about 2,000 music recordings on his personal computer, the industry maintains that it is illegal for someone who has legally purchased a CD to transfer that music into his computer."

(emphasis mine)

WTF?

Indeed WTF. I thought (but perhaps this is just in my parts) that you were allowed to make a back up copy?
