Yeah, I know, cracks and music - different deal. I just used to be Radio/TV/Music industry, and you wont find an industry with so many arseholes anywhere. Just thinking about the future and looking over my shoulder.

Seems like you're getting some pretty good tips tho'.

Maybe I'll have to get a new HD and start filling up on new gear again myself.

As the law stands if you own the copy of the song on a bought/paid for cd you are alllowed to turn this into MP3 Format. If you 'rip' it from another source and cannot prove you paid $ for a copy of it you are breaking the copyright laws. ( am an entertainer and understand copyright laws when it comes to music ) Did you know when you play a music source eg: cd/radio at work so that others can hear it say customers and you are not apaying fees to APRA you are also breaking copyright.

In Australia, until the free trade laws come into effect, you are currently allowed to make copies of CDs you own for your own personal use. This is based upon the VCR time shifting lawsuit from the early 80's. Don't expect this situation to last - if you want to retain this implied right, you MUST fight the free trade agreement now. Ring your pollies and give them hell... after reading the relevant section of the FTA.

Now to what's currently illegal, and always has been:

You are not allowed to use, distribute, download, or copy works that you do not own unless specifically granted those rights by the copyright holder. Any advice to the contrary is just ignorant of the copyright act, and places you in jeopardy of prosecution.

If you can afford an iPod, you can afford to buy the CDs. I don't see why people feel it's okay to pay a hardware manufacturer, but not pay the people who write and make the music. It's pure theft in my books.

Relevant sections of the copyright act:

Section 132 - infringing offences
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca1968133/s132.html

Section 101 - what constitutes infringing acts
Section 115 - how your attitudes reflect remedies (ie flagrency of the act)
Section 116 - remedies which may be sought by a copyright holder

There are other sections worth reading. Short story is:

- making a copy available to anyone else besides you is illegal
- obtaining a copy from anyone else but the copyright holder is illegal

In the US, people who have been caught downloading infringing copies of music usually end up settling for about $2000-$15,000 USD with the RIAA (even if not guilty) as it costs millions to go through a full court case in the US.
