If you copy songs from original CD to your PC, is it legal to keep them on your PC if you give away the CD?

Actually, purchasing the CD grants you a use license that extends to your immediate family, friends, etc.  You may legally buy a CD, copy a song, and give it to, say, your sister, or your friend.  You cannot, however, post them on the net for people unknown to you to download.  There are several recent federal court cases attempting to decide where to draw the line between the copyright holder's rights and your own usage rights granted by your license.  Example:  if I don't know you, but agree to meet you on the street to exchange ripped music, are we "friends."  Are we "friends" once we've met?  \n\nYour specific question is difficult to answer.  If you purchased the CD's, you can certainly keep the copies on the computer if you threw the CD's away.  However, (and I'm only speculating here) if you sell the CD's, you may have in fact sold the usage rights with them.  Wish I had something more concrete for you!

Yes, save it somewhere else before you burn it. Then add it to the CD "compilation screen" in the CD burning software. Make sure you don't delete your downloads until after your CD has been burned/created.

rip the song or songs from one cd onto your pc hardrive and then burn it to the other.

yes, i do!\n\nfirst, it will make an additional cd drive thru software on your cpu. then when you get an installation, audio, training cd...etc, it will make an image of that cd to your hard drive. now you can take that physical cd and put it on your shelf. you won't need it until you crash your hard drive. the reason is you can burn another copy of that cd to a blank cd. the second thing you can do is run that cd on your hard drive without the physical cd you put on the shelf.\n\nif you're like me and have a laptop this is valuable. i use it to keep my training, install & software cds i get from my job on my laptop. i can bring up, one at a time, the cd to refer to my training or burn a copy on my install cds to repair a system @ work.\n\nthis basically lightens your cd wallet load or removes it depending on how you use it.\n\ni should mention though that there are alternatives out there like, iso buster. i don't know however if you can run the cds from this like alcohol 120%.

The easiest way that I know of is to burn a CD with those songs on it, then import the CD into Music Match. I believe that everything else that you try will not work because license information will be attached to the file.

I don't know if you can keep them from adding to library...unless you save them to another folder that MusicMatch isn't tied to.  Otherwise, they are easy enough to remove from the library, just right click and remove or delete from library.  It doesn't delete the song from you PC.

The doctrine is called "space-shifting". You can make copies of content (music, data, etc) that you legally own or are legally licensed to use, 'shifting' them onto a CD or computer or MP3 player or IPod, rather than their original form.\n\nThe key provision is that you must have legal access to that content. So, for example, if you purchase a song online, or purchase an album or CD with the song, that gives you (and only you) a license to play that song. You can shift that song onto another form of media, say burning a CD that includes it, for your personal use.\n\nThis does not allow distribution or sale of the CD you burned, nor can you make copies of the song for someone else. The license to use (listen to) the song is only for you.

The program itself is legal. However, you can do illegal things with it, like download music and burn it on CDs and distribute that. But the program itself is legal.

The problem you will run into is that as soon as that CD is out of your posession then its fair game.\n\nThe RIAA and Motion Picture Association have been trying to encrypt and create software like that for years and its all pretty much junk.\n\nWhat you can do is during the install have a unique CD key combine with the unique processor ID and or NIC of the system that will then create a unique activation KEY.  That means that the CD is now tied to that system and that system only.  I have seen some software that we use in my job have to be activated in that way.  Kinda pain for the user but in ensure you some level of control.

No. Some burning software may need to verify the files on CD and compare them to the original. You need the original files in the hard drive. Once the CD is done verifying then you can remove them from the hard drive.

No, not if it's the radio. It's a different matter if you're playing a  CD because then you need a Public Performance Licence (PPL) but radio broadcasts are treated as public domain material and the station will have it's own PPL.

Look at the legal documents that come with the program.  Unless it's shareware or freeware then it's illegal.  You don't even "own" the program, you only own a license to use the program.  \n\nOf course it's illegal to sell those copies.

if you own the original cd or have an original right (from itunes and the likes) it is no piracy to have them as an mp3 in your mp3 player. In short, if at one given time you paid for it (or got is as a gift), its ok. however Don't sell or share them, because that is an infringement on the copyright.

While any CD-R will work, the ones that are listed as "music" or "audio" CDs - and are more expensive - have an extra amount added to their price that goes back to the record industry to buy royalty to musicians and others.  So files burned to a Music CD are legal.  Files on other CDs may not be.  Other than that, they are identical.

No. If your operating system is XP and you have Works installed, you can't copy these software to a CD....unless the setup files are saved somewhere on you computer.

You can copy-protect the CD so that copying will become much more difficult. However if someone wants to make a copy, they will, and u simply cant stop them. However if you simply want to be able to tell the differance of the CD, u can keep record of the Date created, Last Date edited, Created By Whom. By right clicking the file, then click more, and voila, its there. If u simply want to make sure u dont get  a 'Copy' after giving away the orginal, just use a permanent marker and mark the CD using a very obstructed symbol that cant be copied.
