A representative of the group said the program, developed by a Danish software company, does not yet have a name.
Synapse Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 dunno about all you people. but i think they would report all music back to the RIAA... I got nothing to worry about cause all my songs are legit, cause i ripped them all myself.

I got nothing to worry about cause all my songs are legit, cause i ripped them all myself.now by rip them all yourself, you of course mean illegally copying music from the CD to your harddrive and converting to say MP3?Technically, if you go by the full part of most copyright laws, what you did is illegal. You trasnfered from one media to another without permission. Remember back in the old days when you would copy a tape with another tape? That was illegal as well. Almost everything you do with the CD besides playing it, is illegal (according to the RIAA). Even letting someone in the same car as you listening is illegal to them. YOur friend should have his own CD to listen to the music.

If ripping MP3's were illegal, things like AudioGrabber, Windows Media Player , Winamp, and anythign else that rips MP3s from CD's would be in "hotwater" so to speak.and if you say that in order to listen to music you must own the CD too.. then why is there Radio? I don't own 90% of whats on the Radio.. but its not illegal for me to listen to it.
snekul Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 From what I understand, in the U.S. if you own a physical CD (you don't own the music, it is licensed to you, much as software is), as of now you may legally "rip" it to your computer, but you may not listen to the mp3 and the CD at the same time, nor may CD and the MP3 be in far different locations--like rip to notebook computer, take to work and leave the CD at home. Technically that's no good. But if you own the CD, a judge/jury is going to have a hard time convicting you knowing how many people just download the stuff. Many aspects of the "fair use" law are not defined very well, RIAA has been trying to scare people away from all aspects of computers for music. Remeber they tried to shut down independent artists from using the online community citing copyright laws. They lost of course.
Synapse Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 I really wish they would make these Laws based around the normal person.. I mean.. how many of you are going to Rip the MP3's to your laptop and leave the CD at home... about 95% of you... Thats why its backup.... now of that 5% that bring the CDs along with you.. what was the point in Ripping the MP3's if you have them on you? Or the same thing with Portable MP3 Players... according to how the RIAA thinks, they want you to bring the CD's along with the MP3 player while you jog or whatever... excuse me... but why didn't i just buy a CD player then?Or... How many of you are going to listen to Music at the same time... be kinda stupid to have the same song playing on your computer and your home stereo...
snekul Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 The RIAA has always held that portable MP3 players are unlawful. Judge said they could be used legitimately so they're ok. They still argue that they aren't legal, they just know they'll never win that case--otherwise lots of other things often used unlawfully should be declared illegal as well.
