    Holly Willoughby's water? I've heard that's supposed to be good.

    I have also ripped all my cds to flac: probably about the same number or even more. However, I understand the law allows you to do this for personal use so long as you retain ownership of the original cds. That is why I have kept my original cds even though I will probably never play them again. I would be a bit wary of advertising your sale for fear that the copyright police may make a dawn raid on your house!

    It is certainly difficult if the crime is undetected and unreported. May be easier to get a conviction with a confession though!

    That's not correct. It illegal (in the UK) to make copies for personal use, crazy as that seems.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    There have not been any prosecutions but the law remains since any slackening of it would be seen as a step towards legalising software piracy, or at least making it more acceptable.

    You are correct in that the provision for personal back-ups was reversed in UK law recently.. As I understand it, ripping for personal use under "fair use" terms remains legal in the USA. However, I doubt if any case brought in the UK would succeed if the party could prove that they retained ownership of the original cds and had not been sharing files.

    Personally, I support copyright protection for artists. However, I do think it is reasonable to rip a purchased cd for personal use in a more convenient format so long as the cd remains in your ownership.
