This is interesting:
A 1992 law allows music listeners to make some personal digital copies of their music. In return, recording companies collect royalties on the blank media used for this purpose. For every digital audio tape (DAT), blank audio CD, or minidisc sold, a few cents go to record labels.

Yes. By the way, almost everyone owning a computer somewhere has illegal music..Me? Of course not.
It needs to be your cd, and you cant sell the music to anyone/share/give/you get the point.

You can do whatevere you want with the cd's that you brought. You can put them on a network so others can listen as well. That is the reason why p2p networks exist. They share files and folders with others on that network. Som argue about the legalities of those networks but it is fundamentally legal.

I believe it's called something like "fair use" and yes you can. But the RIAA and the MPAA are both fighting hard to stop people from doing it.

Of course, they're your cds, nothing can stop you from using them.
