copyrighting

MP3 players have been around for years,and file sharing programs have never been more popular. People just don't know whats legal and what is not. One thing that is illegal is if you make a play list in your from a CD and put it on the web to download without permission is illegal. What is illegal is id you have a CD and make another copy of the CD and keep it for yourself is legal but if you give it away or even sell it it is still illegal. If you get caught infringing on the copyright laws you get up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the first offense, if you get caught doing it again it can be and with have to pay atleast for lost $150,000 because of the lost profit and damage.So what i get out of this is don't downloads illegal music online that's free and don't burn CD'S/movies and sell or give them away and most defiantly don't start a website for free downloaded music.You don't wanna have to deal with the copyright laws, infringement, and the court fees.
