My friend borrowed some albums from the public library. He wanted to burn the albums on my computer and transfer it to his mp3 player. I thought it was illegal to burn copyrighted music without even owning it. He let me borrow the albums. He suggest i transfer it to my ipod. I really want to transfer these albums. It's just that i don't want to be in deep **** with the law. Is it illegal to burn music from the public library?

if it is LP and does not have a circle P emblem, you can copy it for your own use. newer materials can be copied for personal use if you use the special DMCA audio CDs that have a royalty payment included in their purchase price. these will burn like a regular CD in any computer. you should be able to get these in audio stores as they are used in the stand alone music CD recorders. They are not expensive and would keep you honest.
