UK music fans no longer face the threat of prosecution for copying their own CDs on to PCs or MP3 players, as long as the songs are only for personal use. Peter Jamieson, chairman of the British Phonographic Industry, said consumers would only be penalised if they made duplicates of songs for other people. Currently anyone transferring music to portable devices breaks copyright laws.He told the Commons select committee for culture, media and sport that he wanted to "make it unequivocally clear to the consumer that if they copy their CDs for their own private use in order to move the music from format to format, we will not pursue them".
As far as i'm concerned, if i buy music or film... i've bought it, fair n square, if i want to change format, have a copy in the car etc.. anyone saying otherwise can go to hell.. screwed if i'll pay twice
