| 684212 | 2008-07-01 06:52:00 | Dear all, What are the legal issues involved in recording music off the radio channels and keeping them for your own use only? I would be interested in knowing how New Zealand and other countries interpret this. Cheers :) |

| 684214 | 2008-07-01 07:11:00 | I would say that it would be illegal but I would also say - Who the **** cares.:banana What are they going to do... throw you in jail :lol: | vitalstatistix (9182) | ||
| 684215 | 2008-07-01 07:35:00 | Yup it's illegal in NZ, you're only allowed to record for the purposes of timeshifting (meaning you are only allowed to listen to it once, then you have to delete it). | Erayd (23) | ||

I understand that as of a few months ago it became legal to timeshift or format shift audio. but you cant time shift or format shift video.... so you can rip a CD for personal use. you can't rip a DVD. |

| 684219 | 2008-07-01 08:51:00 | Jamuz, Check out page 16 of the July New Zealand PC World as well. There is some info there but one would think a case has not gone to a court at this time so copyright law may be interpreted in a manner you may not expect. |

| 684221 | 2008-07-01 11:17:00 | Okay, I will only listen to my recorded music once then. I may just check it a few times for deterioration though before I eventually listen to it. |
