"Question"

If I buy an album in the shops, and I legally allowed to download the tracks for free from a fileshare programme on my computer to listen to on there?

Just wondering, because my CD drive is a big lamed up and my computer speakers are better.

Thankyew.

I thought so.

Also, if I bought a series of say South Park on DVD, I can legally download it too?

It's just digital backup copies to watch via a different medium, which is covered with the license you get when you pay for the material?

Seems silly that he's not allowed to download it after all he has paid for the CD, so should be entitled to the tracks he has paid for.

You're legally allowed to backup your CD onto your PC. What you've bought is technically a digital copy of a master disc anyway. I'm 90% sure that's right.

No, I don't think so. It's still downloading copyrighted material.

Same goes for ROMS etc, even if you own the cart/disc it's still piracy.
