...Faith conference, & I really liked the CD. I wanted some women in my church to have the CD as well 'cause it's so good. I decided to make about 10 copies of the CD & am planning on GIVING them to the women in my church for free (honest to God, I am not planning on selling them. I'm too afraid of going to jail!). I use Napster to burn the CD's. On the 7th CD that I went to burn, a message popped up on Napster saying to "remember that Napster music is for personal use only and the music is not intended for distribution". It went ahead and burned the CD. I guess it catches on when it notices that you burn the same playlist several times onto disc. Is it illegal to make copies of music that you are GIVING AWAY, since you are not selling it? I knew that it was illegal to sell the CD's but am not sure if the same rule applies if you give them away as gifts. 10 of the 12 songs that are on the playlist are from the CD that I originally paid for. The other 2, I paid for & downloaded.

Technically, yes. What you are doing is illegal. You need to buy each person a CD. The only way to legally copy is if the copy and the original are both owned by the same person.
***EDIT***
Some Christian atrists do have a statement in their CDs that it is okay to copy and distribute their CDs as long as it is not for profit. Read through all the copyright info, just to make sure.

technically it is illegal for you to do this even if you are giving the cds away. i am not trying to scare you but you do seem like you would like to do the right thing so i have this suggestion.
find out if your church has a ccli (christian copyright license) most churches have this and most christian music is covered by this, this would allow the church to copy the music legally if the church owned a cd(you could donate it),
the best option of course would be to have these women purchase the cd

It is considered illegal because you are not the copyright owner and are technically cheating the distribution company out of funds they would have received had those people bought the CD from the store.. even if there is no chance they would actually go buy it.

they're allowed to image arrestees for id applications. If the unique artist would not desire their artwork recorded and displayed via the police, they'd desire to not positioned it on physique areas the place it is concern to getting used as such. And under trouble-free use, the full works can in actuality be used. If the full artwork is had to place across the objective, the full artwork would be utilized.
