I really beleive that the consumer should have the option to record a CD for his or her personnal use. I don't believe that copies should be made for sale, and I am sympathetic to the industry's issues with that. But the honest buyer should not be penalized for the actions of others. Should I be able to photocopy an article out of Stereophile to show a friend a reveiw I liked? No, not when it is out of print and it is just a portion of the magazine. Once an item is purchased, doesn't it belong to the buyer?
