I would only be using the music they already have to customize a cd that they'll enjoy without downloading from the internet or using my own cd's to create copies.

As far as I know, no, it's not. As long as it's just for personal use, I wouldn't think that would be illegal. It's just illegal when you download it for free on the internet because you're not paying at all. In your case, they've already paid for the CD, right? So, there should be nothing wrong with it.

Okay, first the disclaimer: I am not a copyright lawyer.
Now that that's out of the way: if you are making a profit copying someone else's work, you are breaking copyright, even if you're copying their own CDs, because they would otherwise have to buy more copies from the company and you're taking that money away from the company.
If you are just charging them the cost of the CD to burn it to, and using the music they already own, that's fair use, even if you create a mix CD with it. If, however, you are using YOUR music that they don't have their own copies of, then it becomes a very grey area, even if you aren't charging them more than the cost of the CD.

Ohh, hell no! To me, making mix CD's can be really fun! You can make remixes of the songs from your favourite bands like Aerosmith, Madonna, No Doubt, Coldplay, Busta Rhymes, or even Sugar Ray. You can be your own DJ. Trust me on this one. It is only unless you have a very expensive musical arrangement system with built-in electronic dials and ****! But remember, some of the mix CD's are illegal and some of them are legal, got that!

certain, you should use a diverse CD. Microsoft would not deliver 1000's of thousands of diverse CD's. they only deliver out diverse variations of the CD's. the most important distinction is in case your license key says XP abode, then you honestly might want to apply an XP abode CD. If it is XP professional, you should use an XP professional CD. you could borrow one from a pal. as long as you've your own license key, that is totally criminal.

If the person they are making it for already owns those songs (or CD albums) then no.
They are just remixing their albums they already own to have like a Travel CD or favorite music CD Back up for their own plesure.
It is NOT illigal IF YOU already OWN those songs/CDs!
If you don't, then yes, it's illigal.
If THEY own it and you DON't then it's still illigal, you must have original copy's of your own.
sorry...
join the Cyber Pirates if you dispize and defy the RIAA LOL!

It's not illegal to make your own copies of CDs you own. However, you're making copies of a CD that you don't own, so technically it's illegal.

Yup, I did that in 1998 and got in trouble - I had to give up my cd writing equipment to lessen the charges

You know I feel if I payed $15 for a C.D. I'm gonna do what ever the fk I wanna do with it. The artists have the master tape, they sell me a copy of it- it's mine.

yes. any replication of the music without consent from the artist and production company is technically illegal. making money from it is also illegal...
