I do have to say you guys do have a nice law about copying music for yours friends.
Can I legally copy music CDs for my friends?

Doesnt suprise me, over here in the UK there has been a small levy on all tapes & cd blank media, has been for years, been that way since the record co's said Awww now tape is here, we shall be left destitute cuase EVERYONE will copy our albums, unless we can get a small charge introduced so we claw back even more money from the unsuspecting punters

wow your late man

Its like this since tapes...

it is now like this for mp3 players (ones with HD in it, its like 2 CND for each Gig... so a 300 player will be 320... not a big deal)
