Newalpost 5 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It's now illegal - again - to copy CDs or DVDs you've bought to put onto your MP3 player, your computer or other devices. The government had introduced a new law in October last year meaning it was legal to transfer music into your home library. But that law has been overturned in the High Court. It's after a legal challenge from Basca, the Musicians' Union, and industry representatives UK Music. It's unclear how the change will be enforced.

CBers 6780 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Saw that yesterday. This is relevant to EmbyConnect in the UK: The law brought in last October made it legal to make back-ups for personal use but it always remained an offence to share those copies with friends or family or to sell on that music or data.

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Unless you're sharing the media online via torrent seeding, Emby Connect or other means, how would they know that you did so? Clearly it is a way to fight piracy and try to combat worldwide record sales. Each person has to decide what laws they will scoff at and try to avoid. At least the UK hasn't passed a law requiring keyloggers installed on every computer yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought MS, Google and Apple did that anyway - Begs the question about all those CDs and DVDs ripped between the dates of it being legal and now becoming illegal.
