I wonder how far they went. (Score 1)

To me, this seems like an extension of the Home Audio Recording Act -- to cover digital works. It does not seem (but of course, I have not read the law) to make legal the public domain-style sharing that goes on, ala Napster, Kazaa, etc. Instead, instead, it brings back the old right of, I can record a CD for my friend to listen to, as long as it is not for profit. That was the purpose of the HARA, but it was limited to Analog audio, because they said: "The quality degrades over multiple recordings."

Woot! I will be happy if I can put a mix on a CD instead of a Tape.

Useless information: CD Scratched? Paid 20 bucks for it already? Don't buy another. You didn't pay 20 bucks for a piece of plastic, you paid it for the right to play that music whenever you damn well pleased.
