These are called "permitted acts". These reflect instances where Parliament has determined that the wider public interest, or the interests of particular groups, makes it necessary to restrict or limit the rights granted to copyright owners. Permitted acts include: "fair dealing" - for the purposes of criticism, review, news reporting, research or private study; limited copying or dealing in the work for particular educational purposes; limited copying or dealing in the work by librarians or archivists in specific circumstances; exceptions in respect of certain activities by the Crown; copying for the purposes of making copies that are in Braille; subject to certain conditions, the making of a back-up copy of a computer program; and recording a television programme for the purpose of making a complaint or for "time shifting" purposes so that a programme can be watched at a more convenient time. There is no general exception to copyright infringement for private of domestic copying, including "format shifting", of legitimately purchased recordings from one medium to another to allow playing or viewing via other devices. So,Wether or not you own one or 50 copies,Makeing a back-up or a copy wether its the entire media or just a part,then you are infringing on the rights of the copyright holder.	metla (154)
