Record industry: It’s illegal to transfer music to PC

Posted by Cory Bergman on January 1, 2008

WTF? As you know, the RIAA is still running around suing average Joe’s and Jane’s for copyright violations. Most people just pay the fine and move on. But a few are challenging it. In one of these lawsuits, the RIAA is trying a new argument: that it’s illegal to transfer music that you’ve legally purchased on CD to your own computer. Yup. I really hope the record industry collapses under the weight of its own lawyers.
