Comment The original /. post misstates the complaint (Score 1) 668
it may have been mentioned earlier in this thread but, like so many reactionary slast dot stories, the original post got it wrong. The complaint is not saying that ripping MP3s from your CDs is an infringement. It, in fact, acknowledges that doing so is fair use.
However, it continues by saying that then making those MP3s available for download by others destroys that fair use.
Say what you want about the RIAA (and I think they're a bunch as @sshats), they are right on this score.
