In Reply to: No, it is a waste oftime for crap i do not want anyway.. and besides that is illegal. posted by Elizabeth on March 23, 2012 at 06:36:28:
That's a common misconception, not surprisingly given aggressive lobbying by the recording industry who would certainly like to make such things illegal.
Making the copy is legal, and selling the original CD is legal. Selling the copy would likely be illegal.
That's one reason the recording industry no longer wants to sell CDs, or sell recordings at all in any format. Instead, they want to rent them out, i.e., sell limited licenses.
