Re: Bit Torrent is a bit safer

The "fair use" law basically states you can back up media you purchase for your own use. This means that if you buy a CD, you can make a backup copy which only you can play.

Technically it does not allow you to download copies of songs you have CDs of though that is kind of a gray area. The person sharing the file is definately not protected by the "fair use" law.

Why not just make backup copies of your CDs when you buy them and store the originals in a safe place? That way if you scratch the copy you can just make a new backup copy from the original.
