I am in a mommy group and this question came up. A few of the mom's want to burn music for each other, like trade cds and stuff. Would that be considered copywrite infringement? They have the original cds but they just want to burn the music to a cd and trade it with someone else. I know ppl do it all the time, even my mom has done it but I just was wondering if that was considered stealing? And please give me a real answer don't just make one up.

Yes, technically it is considered stealing, although certainly it's not on the order of setting up a peer-to-peer network that thousands of people use illegally.

Technically speaking, this is stealing music and is copyright infringement. If you want to be all-legal, tell them the title of the album and where to buy it from. If you want, you can download a song from the internet using legal means like iTunes which lets you download a song for a fee. This means the song is yours now and you wont be stealing the music unlike the other P2P (peer to peer) networks where you can search for songs and download all you want (since many people offer virtually their whole hard drive). If you plan to sell the CD's that's even worse...

Yes it is "stealing." That is because they are giving the copy and getting a copy of the disc without paying for the copy of the disc.
The only way it wouldn't be is if they like the copy then go out and buy the CD.

it incredibly is no longer stealing. Stealing contains taking some thing faraway from somebody, illegally downloading song would not. the assumption is which you're meant to be 'stealing' the hypothetical revenue of the artists (and checklist agencies, distributors, song shops, etc.) via downloading for loose some thing which you're able to preferably be paying funds for. in case you won't be in a position to have adequate funds to purchase the albums then that dichotomy no longer applies. quite your ideas are downloading the song or purely no longer listening to it. Neither decision provides everyone any funds (different than probably your ISP), and that i think of that given those 2 ideas maximum artists could probable choose you to get exhilaration from their song.

If you were selling it for a profit, yes.
