Fine...what if someone takes their newly-remastered Beatles CDs and undertakes the Herculean task of creating MP3s from them and then undertakes a second Herculean task of loading them into one’s iPod?
And please don’t misuse the term piracy just because others do same.
Right now I’d recommend to anyone who does undergo that task to transfer personal recording that they NOT travel internationally with that ipod because it is subject to search at customs.
You can claim all you want that you did the transfers at home from your own personal copies of the albums, but will be subject to whatever local security wants to do.
That is legal under the terms of copyright and fair use for a SINGLE USER... but if your hypothetical "someone" then takes on the Herculean task of making his MP3s available on the internet for every Joe Schmoe to download and load onto his/her iPod, then that is Piracy and Hercules should be brought up on charges and appropriately fined.
