I've been creating a load of 70s and 80s CDs lately, as little interests me know.

Copying my (bought) music in this way is possibly illegal, though a seem to remember a test case several years ago (in the vinyl days, and copying to compact cassette) which allowed it for personal use.  Maybe Max can confirm?

AFAIK no issues with personal copying but the record companies would prefer you to repurchase. I copy records to MD and CDs to copy CDs and stick them in the changer.

I haven't tried downloading music except once to see what the fuss was about - sounded rubbish, however I did download a packed set of mp3s taken off a demo tape of a friends band, they won't mind I know - my pictures were used on their album.

However I have borrowed records in the past and lent them as well - good way of trying music.

Pubs, car boot sales, behind the toilets

ive put all my favourite tracks from my cd,s on my ipod,rarely buy anything these days,and i think maybe most people are the same.the music industry has dumbed itself down so much and probably hoped no-one would notice and maybe thats part of the reason for the decline

No law against that, and vitually every DVD player is multi region capable.  I think the film companies shot themselves in the foot with that one though. As the music companies are trying to do by trying to prevent grey imports, despite there being no laws against it.  EU should look at the anticompetitive behaviour rather than keep going after Microsoft, but won't as the poor media companies are 'hard up'

I dunno, I like to think we're improving now....    even Take That's come back has decent material behind it...

i really hope we're past the low point that the Cheeky girls and Gareth Gates brought us to...  


great recent albums...
KT Tunstall!
Foo Fighters
Kaiser Chiefs
System of A Down
Goldfrapp's new one is a welcome return to form....



you can't in all fairness call all of it shite..  

but anything to do with Simon bloody Cowell, should be banned.,

yes and no ....   sort of...

the law as relates to personal fair use IS being changed...  and it is now basically, legal to , for example, put your latest purchase on to your iPod without having to buy it from iTunes all over again...  

however, until now it has not even been strictly legal even to transfer to cassette for use in a car that lacked a cd player./.. or any equivalent thereof...  

this is because, unlike most of the US, for example, the Uk lacked ANY fair use legislation.

this was changed recently, , according to industry back room rumour, (and much denied by those lobbying and preparing cases etc)  as a result of someone asking the PM if he knew his favourite Cd's being put on his personal iPod was technically illegal....


it is most definitely NOT legal to publish to P2P networks, or download from such sites either.

or any other form of redistribution without contractual agreement of the copyright holders.
