We all know that it is illegal to make copies of music CDs and videos but here is something that is new. Now even copying music to your computer from a CD you have purchased is illegal.

As part of the industry’s ongoing legal effort against Jeffery Howell, a Scottsdale, Ariz., resident accused of sharing nearly 2,000 songs, industry officials said even legally owned discs should not be copied onto one’s computer, The Washington Post reported Sunday.

The Recording Industry Association of America’s position that Howell broke the law when he copied a legally purchased disc to his computer was immediately attacked by a lawyer familiar with such charges.

This still puts me in a doubt. Did the person here break the law by sharing the music or just by copying it on his own computer? This also means you cannot copy music to your portable players, iPods etc. Seems scary to me!!!
