RE: Ethics of ripping CD's borrowed from my township library

"The music that is downloaded here is not streaming. It comes in an MP3 format that is saved to the hard drive and then opened to hear."

It would be useful for you to talk with the library director and see what sort of licensing agreement they have. It could be that they have an "unlimited" usage license and that the citizens of your town are unknowingly paying for it. That would be one thing which can be eliminated from the budget and keep your taxes under control. On the other hand, they may be setting themselves up for a major lawsuit from ASCAP or BMI or both.

Keep us posted!
