82649 2002-09-27 11:28:00 Just remember that we are NOT the US. Their laws do not apply here. Whether it is them trying to get the right co hack into your computer and destroy your music files. Or if it's the allowed to make a personal backup (we are not) of your music CDs.

The way I look at is. If I've purchased a music CD I'm not going to distribute *back-ups* of it to other people. I may let someone have mp3s, OGGs, etc. But not a duplicate of the original. But a tape possibly. But if I've got the OGGs off other people I'm more likely to distribute them to other people.

B52s can drop 30 tons of bombs from 7 miles in the air, with "surgical precision". Fancy a vasectomy? Performed using a chainsaw? :D Graham L (2)
82655 2002-09-29 09:02:00 Most sound cards have a line in so it realy doesn't matter what protection they use you can use that to bypass it. If you can hear the music you can record it. mikebartnz (21)
82656 2002-09-29 10:42:00 Oh dear... if you use the method described by Mike, you're asking for trouble in that you are recording in analogue and not digital. Optical line-in's aside, they are still analogue and thus result in a lower quality level recording.

Doing a search on google especially for copy protected audio cd's will generate HEAPS of sites where info is freely available on how to bypass these protections... Popular sites MUST include this one (www.cdfreaks.com) and the CD Freaks Forum (http: 2&forumid=57) on anything audio...

Perfectly good places to read up on how to always make a 1:1 digital copy of a cd... ;)

Lo.
