Talking Busted!!!
Had a party at my house last weekend.... 30 friends came over and they each brought 50 (store bought) cd's with them. I copied them all. Why is that NOT illegal?

What's next??? RIAA sues husband for serenading his wife on messaging service.

Maybe I should invite 62 million people over to the next one. BYOB!!!

I think you're exaggerating JUST A BIT!













I'm jealous because I have no friends.











I think I'm a...fag.

AFAIK we have fair-use-laws.

Copying to close friends is legal.

Thanks Stief.

German Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries (photo) warned on Friday in Berlin that whether it was commercial, private, free or against payment, those who "offered or spread music, films or computer games as a download on the Internet without being authorized to do so, were liable to punishment."

The minister added that with the advent of the digital age, it had become necessary to extend the realm of copyright protection and intellectual property to the Internet.

She warned that the cracking or violation of copyright procedures and codes would be pursued with penalties and imprisonment if it "wasn’t exclusively meant for the personal use of the accused" or close family and friends.
Yes its right close family and friends.

But I don´t think that that in Germany a judge would say that 30 people are "close friends", and I think they mean a few songs or CDs but not about 1.500 CDs!!!
