: Is there a law against copying CDs into MP3 format and sharing them on the internet? I'm talking completely free, just sharing them for no profit....
Just because a copying is not for profit does not exempt from copyright infringement except for fair use. Fair use does not apply to what you have said. Your question is in fact vague. The law is not clear on this point. Lawyers are going to grow rich on this. A lot of this has just gone into litigation.
