Are we still talking about copying things I own, for my own personal use?
I won't buy a cd twice if I want to have a copy for my car cd player.
I'd rather carry it around with me or listen to the radio instead.
Making a copy of it, only for my personal convenience, does not harm anyone.
In fact I do pay royalties for each cd-r I buy, because I *might* use it to
copy copyrighted stuff, no matter if I do, or if I am allowed to or not.

Besides, usually the artist gets the least part of the money you spend for his
work.

But let's stop this thread here.

Regards,
Gert
