Question: What is the law against 'burning' a music artists CD?
Answer: It is against U.S. and international copyright laws to copy an original work created by someone else without permission. The copyright laws apply to music CD's. The same copyright laws also make it illegal to copy movies -- as you know, if you have ever read those warnings that appear at the beginning (and end) of a rented videotape or DVD. Likewise, if you check the cover of any music CD that you purchase, you will see that it contains a notice under U.S. and international copyright laws warning against making copies without permission.

Most of the time I can't find foreign music in stores so I burn it off a friend who buys in from afar and can read the language.

You can copy things out of books if you give the source of them without getting permission and it isn't illegal, so why can't you do that with cd's? As long as you source it it should be fine right?

I'd like to say that this burning law is a load, I realize they don't want their music stolen but the illegal part should be if you sell these CD's, Movies, Games or whatever it is that you burn.
