Just a small side note here:
In several countries the copywright laws differ. In Sweden it is still legal to make copies of a CD for personal use or to give away to your closest circle of friends, IE family to be sure. That rule is about to change into something horrible misguided and stupid thanks to EU politicians that have no clue about anything. Do not read, filesharing should be oki.
This is the same concerning written material. You are not allowed to copy complete works from a book though, but you can copy the cpmplete book for your own use in a none professional way. Also, a customar who bought a record, a book a videogame etc are entitled to make safety backup's of that material if the media it came with should break.
I guess that that will change as well with the new laws.
As I said, a small side note [img]smile.gif[/img]
