 This is outragous.

The atoms tell the atoms so, for I never was or will but atoms forevermore be.

Yours sincerely,

The UK is already half-way on to becoming a police state, why not go all the way I guess?

I don't get it. Am I understanding something wrong? It seems that they are trying to make it legal to copy for personal use.

One night I dreamed of chewing up my debetcard - there simply is nothing like hard cash in your pocket!

Whoops. I only skim read the article and thought they were making it illegal.

Ok everyone no news he there has just been a bit of a mix up.

That's how I understood it as well. Actually I don't understand how it can be illegal to make a user copy of an item like this after one has purchased the CD the normal way. That's what I do with lots of my stuff.

Thank God! 

For a moment there I was afraid that I would have to get shock therapy to rid my brain of any memory of how to play Stairway To Heaven on the guitar!
