It seems that they are trying to make it legal to copy for personal use.

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!

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.

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.

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