From what I understand it is ok under the fair use act to make a copy for your own personal use and as a back up.THis is similiar to making a copy of software for back up purposes. My Adobe software allows use on 2 computers if one is a laptop, but no more.
Where it is illegal, is if you sell the cd. Since you are no longer an owner, the fair use act doesn't apply.
But, from what I understand copyright law is not that cut and dry.
