Don't know if this point got cleared up from a couple of pages ago, because all of this is insufferable, but it's perfectly okay for you to make a copy of a legally purchased CD for YOURSELF. It's fine to burn one for the car, or to put the tracks on your iPod. Where that stops being okay is when you transfer or give a copy of that music to anyone besides yourself or someone in your household.

I see the logic of this, but I guess I have to wonder where do we draw the line? For instance, if I give a copy to a member of my household, that means they won't buy it. How is that different from giving it to a friend?
I am on the fence about the issue. I download songs as kind of testers, then only buy the album if I like it enough. But I can't say this is technically any better than someone who downloads and never buys the album, because we've both downloaded the same song for free, and according to the record industry, we're both stealing.
That being said, personally, I don't feel comfortable downloading an entire CD and burning it. But again technically the record industry doesn't see a difference.
