  16. >>As far as I know, it is _illegal_ to read the data on audio cd's.  Why?  
  17. >>Well, you'd be able (if you had a CD Burner) to make exact duplicates of 
  18. >>Audio CD's, which is an infringement of Copyright law.

  26.  as far as I know it is legal to make one copy as long as it stayes in your 
  27. possession, and you own the original, and you can change the format to a 
  28. different form of media (ie. cd to hard disk)
