music that is put from cd's, or downloaded illegally, is illegal, yes. but over here the government have better things to be doing than care about silly things like that.
so u cant buy a cd from a shop and transfer it to itunes to put on an ipod??
how stupid
So then in theory, Apple is breaking a US law by allowing people to transfer music onto their computer, so is every computer sold as they all contain Windows Media Player (apart from the very new ones which aren't allowed to have it I believe).
American's need to sort it out :P
Well the programs themselves break the laws, even if you can purchase music from stores inside them, as they both offer the facility to import CDs.
cant you just say its not for personal use
