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.

You should be able to burn cd because you pay for the disk yo make the disk as long as you don`t sell the to people to make money. But if you do that you should give hafe of the mony to the artis. If not you get sued

I think that you should be able to burn music off the computer because some people like some songs on the Cd not the whole cd so then they can burn only the songs they like on a cd.
