>one of the music industry people said they think ripping your own cd's to your itunes library is copyright infringement.
Statements from execs like that one are why the record industry as we've known it is going down the tubes and quickly. Everything I've read of the copyright law says you can rip your music into whatever format you want as long as you're not giving away or selling the content.
Even so, I'm glad the industry is going away. They have saddled artists with completely unfair contracts for decades. Thank God for the internets!
Ditto the Interpol recommendation.
