As far as music goes it will always be legal to make a copy of your music and you can change the file type, otherwise all mp3 players would quickly become obsolete,
In my car I have an mp3 disk which I have made up of a few of my legally purchased cds, surely this isn't illegal

In technical terms, it is illegal. I cant find a perfect link to support this, but this article should suffice:

I thought it already WAS legal if it was for private use?
If I hear a song on the radio and later hum it to myself, is THAT legal?

What a load of BS. I hope no one actually votes for these idiots.

Nope, you're an evil terrorist supporting music thieving scumbag if you do that
I think just about everyone over the age of 7 must have broken that law at some point, so very few of us could ever truly claim to be "law abiding"
agreed - while I acknowledge the patent system to be really flawed, to get rid of it entirely is plain lunacy
If they did get some power hopefully it would cause a shakeup and a proper review of the system though, which wouldn't be a bad thing.
Most political parties over exaggerate what they intend to do just so they can get votes. I see no difference here.
I think sweden are getting a bit ott on the whole pirating front. They act like it's a right of theirs to just take any digital media they want. People will still do it even if it is illegal so it makes little difference.
The government won't change the laws, and the pirates won't change their ways. Getting rid of the laws is pointless, though, because then those who are paying would stop and a lot of digital media companies would not be able to make money :/
on that thought - I think as a company it would be easier to just stop selling to that country - if the pirate party (I love that name lol) win, I can imagine a lot of media companies jumping ship.
I do hope they are just being ott on what they wanna do - it does sound a bit radical tbh (and not in the good way) but it would be nice for someone to at least acknowledge that there are major flaws in digital distribution.
you know I bet robots would never have this problem

One thing that I have always whimsically pondered is;
Why is it illegal to make a copy of a movie on my PC when everytime I see a movie I make a copy of it in my brain anyway.

Whereas computers are crowbar resistant?
I think it might have something to do with the fact that if people 'copied the video to their brain' they wouldn't be able to distribute it.
Would be an interesting method of piracy if you could though
Im sorry guys but its game over for me now - KiTBoH has just sent me to the land of chuckles.
I don't think any company would do that. With the invention of the internet it would be suicide, people who wanted to buy the media would instead just download it along with the "pirates", so the only people to "suffer" would be the record companies.
yes but whats the point of distributing in a country with no copyright law? nobody would buy the product when they can get it free. That is what the pirate party are trying to do by the way the article reads...
