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.

ok so heres the deal, your all sitting here arguing about weather burning c.'ds is wrong or right and sum are asking questions about why they have burners and mp3 players and stuff, here your answer, there are many programes where it is legal to download music because u still pay for it, but very cheap it may be a low cost a month for unlimited downloads, then it is perfectly legal to download music and burn it off for your own personal use.. if this is done then i absoloutly condone c.d downloading and burning.. if you dont pay for your music im not one to judge or anything, but beware theyre

hu cares?
as if anythings gonna change cuz of our comments on here...
its all the same news anyway "i think burning cds is wrong, artists work hard, we must respect the law... blah blah blah"
big deal! get over it!
if u dont like it, fine- dont burn cds
if u like it, alright- go ahead
all this 'discussion' isnt gonna change anything
if u really mean what u say, then DO something about it
instead of sitting infront of ur computers typing up some lame as unoriginal "i'm a moral person" comment

when i bought my computer it came with a cd burner ,I really enjoyed it because you could pick song's form year's ago that you can't buy in store's On a cd is so many song's you don't actually like and this way you could get the one's you liked. I think we should be refunded if we can't use them. Oh I buy a lot of cd's since they came out, Isn't there some way we could pay for song's we wanted with,just that song off cd.I beleive we could come up with some solution.I haven't gotten to download but a few since getting it and it don't seem fair

although I do understand the reason for the law, I think CD burning is alright. If you're going to pay $20 for a cd, I think you are entitled to have two copies, if you so desire. Plus, if it is illeagle, I don't see why they sell CD burners, and mp3 sharing software. honestly.
