Just been reading on Ceefax, I'm gonna quote the article:
UK music fans can copy own tracks
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 (BPI), 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.
The music industry has traditionally turned a blind eye, however, in favour of trageting "professional" pirates.
It's a start. Maybe the RIAA and MPAA will follow their lead! I'd like to see the same done for movies, as with the video ipod and PSP and other similar portable devices available, the popularity of movies on the go will dramatically increase in the same fashion as music.
