Sony BMG: Ripping CDs is Stealing!

LKM writes: "Sony seems to think we should not be allowed to rip CDs we own to our iPods. In fact, doing so is stealing, and we should all re-buy songs, preferrably one copy for each device. Says Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG:

"When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song. Making a copy of a purchased song is just a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'."

I guess somebody should tell Sony about all the devices Sony produces that allow this stealing to occur!"
