Burning music?

Question

I am just wondering if anyone out there or any one you know of anyone caught burning music? Do they charge fines or just make you pay back for the songs? I am just curious...saw it on the news. Thanks!

Answer 1

Hey buddy

There r certain laws for protecting rights of the producers and people bearing the rights of distribution of the film or television or any type of softwares and contents.

The best one can do is that he/she should settle the disputes with the investigating personel out of the way because usually in such conditions law is not enforced properly.

As far as the law is concerned if u have got the original CDS/ DVDS the publishers let u the right to use publish the contents on to ur i pods, media players, computers etc. u can burn as much as u want for ur personel use

If u play it publically without the concent of the person bearing the rights he can charge a fine though a governing body and varies from a minimum of 75000 to what he claims as his damages.

But if u want to publish and distribute it without offering any sort of partnership or financial terms to the right bearer u can just make a it a bit different from the original publication either by adding a new track or mixing it with a track or music.

The difference dose not need to be emphasised but it has to be there reminding for your personal touch and in this way you can legally sell buy and earn through the tracks you have burned.

Answer 2

ive never heard of anyone, but you get a hefty fine.

However, it's not actually for burning music as much as it is for downloading it illegally. if you copy a friends cd, nobody is going to be able to tell that. But if you download a track from Kazaa or Limewire or something like that, they can trace it back to you.

If found guilty, you could have to pay between $750 and $150,000 per song.

Answer 3

How could they catch someone copying music like that think about it they catch people who download music because you give them your ip address when downloading but when you copy music by burning it from a friend it doesn't require the Internet its just you copying Cd's onto another blank one and who's gonna run and tell the record companies.

Answer 4

The Law: distributing copywritten material is illegal.
You can download anythig you want to. You may get a letter or two saying that it is illegal but it is not. The only thing that is illegal is "uploading" files. If you have a P2P file sharing program make sure you have the uploads turned off or keep your files empty.

Answer 5

the burning of music int actually illegal. one can back up a CD which you paid for. its the distributing part thats illegal. but no, i havent heard of anyone. i think people have better things to do than catch some one getting free music...
