Correction: October 2014 to July 2015 is actually eight months, not a year. You know what? Damn. I rip my legally purchased CDs like it`s still legal, and even though I`ve sometimes bought something I really wanted new, from now on, I`m going to buy them all second-hand to teach record companies not to pull that kind of. :p I can imagine that they fear that if it remains legal for someone to format a CD on their computer into an MP3 file, in the future this fact will be used as a defense by a company that has a new service that the old IP companies could never have imagined. www.out-law.com/en/articles/2015/november/uk-government-scraps-plans-to-legalise-private-copying/ It follows that copying your music files, one of the main features of iTunes, has apparently become illegal. However, it remains illegal to make copies at home for friends and family. So don`t play those ripped CDs, guys! If you want to give the CD to a loved one, make sure you delete any personal copies you have made, explains the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). However, the IPO guidelines stress that „it will always be illegal to make copies for friends or family, or to make a copy of something you do not own or have not acquired illegally, without the permission of the copyright holder. Thus, you will not be able to make copies of CDs for your friends, copy CDs borrowed from friends, or copy illegally downloaded videos from file-sharing sites. Updates to UK copyright laws mean that from June, „ripping“ CDs and putting them on portable players like Apple`s iPod will no longer violate the strict letter of the law. Yes, so 100 CDs would be 75 GB. That`s a lot of room for not so much music.
I don`t know, I`ve never seen a program that uses WAV to rip CDs by default, but maybe it`s just me. Not as consistent as you might think. If you own software (computer program) in Europe that has been delivered on a DVD, or if you are really old school, on a CD, then you can legally make a bacKup copy according to the European Software Directive. However, if DRM is present, it is illegal to bypass or crack the DRM to exercise your legal right to create a backup. Go figure. Copyright does not include performing rights. So we`re talking about what someone who acquires a legal copy of a work is allowed to do. No matter what transformative work or how many copies they make of it, as long as no copies are available to a member of the public or representations are available to a member of the public, the only way to detect „illegal copies“ is to violate the privacy of the owner. Is iTunes or using iTunes to rip copyrighted CDs illegal? A few years ago, when CD burners became widely used, the issue of ripping was hotly debated, as AA organizations said enabling ripps was piracy. However, as I recall, the assessment was that we are allowed to make archival copies of works that we have acquired, even though we are not allowed to make multiple copies to share or, in particular, to sell, and that the ability to make archival copies is tied to constitutional protection.
Fifteen years after the first MP3 players arrived on the UK market, it will soon be legal to copy purchased music from a CD you own on them. Ok, let`s see what the current law has to say about whether creating a „carbon copy“ image of a hard drive (without breaking encryption) is legal or not: when it was previously illegal to rip music, lawsuits and claims were very rare, and the industry generally ignored those who simply ripped music for their personal and private use. An update to UK copyright law means that from 1 June 2014 it will no longer be illegal to make copies of CDs – or e-books or other media – that you have purchased for your personal use. The recording industry claims that such an extraction costs musicians up to £58 million who should recover them as compensation. But in practice, it is difficult to see how the sentence will actually be carried out, and the sentence is likely to be largely symbolic. Here in the US, it`s a high crime to rip a DVD, but completely legal to rip a CD In October 2014, the UK government enacted a series of laws – the Copyrights and Right in Performances (Personal Copies for Private Use) Regulations 2014 – on digital song copyright, making legal what most Britons would have thought was already legal: Copy your own music CDs to iTunes and back up your iTunes library to a storage service like iCloud. It is not illegal to rip DVD just to bypass encryption. Not all commercial DVDs are encrypted. But until people start caring about the difference (and only buy products that grant the rights they want), the BPI/RIAA/MPAA/etc. have no reason to change anything.
No matter how extreme their behavior becomes, people give them money. And yet, the record companies went to court to block this and won. And yet. No one really believes that record companies will now sue individuals for releasing CDs, because that would be ridiculous. A question-and-answer section points out that making copies of content „for family at home“ is already illegal – and there are no plans to change that. Tell someone that ripping a CD to transfer the tracks to a computer or other device is something that many people do without thinking twice is illegal, and maintaining that respect is a bit harder. Here in the US, ripping a DVD is a serious crime, but perfectly legal to rip a CD – even if the two floppy disks are physically (visually) identical. Home / Features / Why You Shouldn`t Celebrate the fact that CD ripping is finally legal in the UK I think ripping in file formats like FLAC and APE is doubly bad. The decision was previously in effect and was later overturned, allowing CD to be „formatted“ without paying again.
But the Supreme Court ruled that this reversal is illegal, meaning copyright holders for music and movies could receive huge compensation payments for illegal mining. Under UK copyright law, end users can make „personal copies for private use“ of content they have „legally acquired permanently“.
