: Hey - I am very corious if MP3s are legal. Are they legal to listen to on your computer? What if you own the CD of the MP3 you are listening to? Can you get MP3s from friends to listen to? What are all the terms and are their loop holes? Any sites to look at? Thank you for your help!
I frankly have not gotten into this as yet. I believe there is one case refusing to grant an injunction. My gut feeling from what little I know is that they are as illegal as the VCR. I believe that recording a program on a VCR is an infringement but it is too difficult to find the infringer. Selling copied wholesale is easier to find and is stopped.
