Legal recordings of music?

[Guest]

My Mce has Plus! Analog Recorder which I can use to record musi
from 1) MCE: Online spotlight / Live 365 radio, FM Radio,
2) Music accessible from WMedia, Real Player etc
3) Music from my FM stereo receiver via line in
Question is: am I breaking any local or international laws in repeatedly
listening to or burning recordings to CD/DVD?

If it is broadcast, that is "public" as far as I understand
the law, but if the source is downloaded or ripped it is a
copyright violation. Resale is always illegal without
payment of fees and arrangements with copyright holder.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. The RIAA
monitors download sites on P2P networks. Fair use law
allows you to copy for your own use, to change media format,
so you can copy your LP to a CD so you can play it in your
car or put it on your MP3 or iPod.

You are supposed to have an original LP or CD that YOU own.

I say let your conscious be your guide. No one ever had a problem with
copying music until peer to peer sharing. I have saved my old LPs to MP3 and
I'm not apologizing if I share them with a few friends. I think that if it's
on the radio it's fair game.

Music over the airwaves may be public for listening but NOT for recording
Many people do it, but it is copyright infringement no matter how, what
or media you use to record it. When you record it, it becomes a documen
and that's where the law comes in. Just becareful, ignorance of the law i
no excuse.

In the days of cassette recorders, that was taken into account by an
increase in the price of the media. Supposedly it went to the artists, but I
doubt if it ever got that far (-:

There is not and never has been a problem copying music for yourself. The
problem stems from DISTRIBUTING copied material.
