copying for private use free. So you can legally copy your CDs and DVDs as a backup or for playing in the car. But "private use" also includes to make copies and give them to near friends and relatives.
We are paying a "tax" for the media: CDs, DVDs, printer paper, printer ink, and also for the tools: scanner, printer, player, burner.
The funny thing is, it's not permitted to circumvent a -working- copy protection. But a copy protection that has no effect, isn't seen as working.
So I use happyly k9copy, K3B and the other copying and burning apps, shipping with Linux.
We have paid for it, we use the content. |
