Not true. Read up on the law.Grim... wrote:Transferring music from one medium to another is classed as copyright infringement (as is lending it to your mates, or playing it in your car with the windows open).

Although 'reasonable proportion' isn't defined, it can surely be assumed that it doesn't mean 'all of it'.Wiki wrote:CDPA permits individuals to make a single copy of a "reasonable proportion" of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works for "research and private study" and "criticism, review and news reporting" ( s. 29, 30) under the terms of "fair dealing". The extent of "reasonable proportion" is not defined in the act.
Eh?Maugrim_The_Reaper wrote:In the face pf ambiguity you can only fall back on more concrete law for guidance - and that concrete law puts an emphasis on ownership and fair use versus public distribution.
Again, you have ignored multiple examples that disprove your theories.Grim... wrote:The 'concrete' law says "Anything that's copyrighted cannot be copied" - that's what copyright is.
The fair trading law overwrites the original copyright laws, not vice versa.
I added the emphasis. The conversion between types for personal archiving is lawful use. Its not distribution. Its archiving.Wiki! wrote:For a long time, the legal position of services such as Internet caches was dubious under British law, with such copies technically being infringing. However, amendment of the law explicitly allows temporary copies of literary works, other than computer programs and databases; dramatic works; artistic works; musical works; typographical arrangements; films or sound recordings if such temporary copies are necessary for a technical process, transient or incidental and only exist for the purpose of transmitting a work across a network between third parties or only exist for a lawful use of the work.
Notice those are all situations that involve public performance - DISTRIBUTION.CDPA permits individuals to make a single copy of a "reasonable proportion" of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works for "research and private study" and "criticism, review and news reporting" ( s. 29, 30) under the terms of "fair dealing"
Like I said, whether its Tivo, iTunes, or plain old mp3's, people in the UK have the right to make copies for private use.The final major exception that the general population commonly runs into is that of recording broadcasts for time shifting. This was brought about by the rise of the video recorder in the early 1980s. The exception only applies to copies for private and domestic use.
Perhaps you should have highlighted the word 'temporary'.wiki wrote:For a long time, the legal position of services such as Internet caches was dubious under British law, with such copies technically being infringing.

Not so. Copyright (the clue is in the name) covers:Roja wrote:Copyright is not saying "Anything that's copyrighted cannot be copied". Copyright says you cannot *distribute* it.
