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.

hey, i htink that burning cd's should be legal. the artists only make 35 cents per cd sold. im sure they will be happy to by a postage stamp with that, oh wait! postage is 37 cents!! nvm then. on top of that, it is the cd production company that makes the money from this. it is the COMPANY that is ripped off, not the artist. do u care more about the artist? or the company who makes the cd's..?

Burning CDs shouldn't be against the law. If companies sell cd burners then why is it against the law. I agree that artist make too much money. What will people do with their cd burners if they can't use them? People get internet to download music.
