Is it legal for record companies to put programs on cd's, mp3's, and other devices...?

Question

that causes your windows media player to stop burning CDs? My Music player has now twice done this, but when I re_install it, works. The only way the file could become corupt is by the songs being downloaded off sites that share songs. I have run spyware on the file holding the songs and something in there keeps shutting down the search too. As of now, I have deleted all the songs, but still wish to know is it legal for them to do this? (Especially when they cry for the legal system if someone copies a song, even if they bought it first)

Answer 1

It's not legal if you plan on selling the CDs. It's okay if you give to them for free.

Answer 2

yes and no
