>>A legal question: Does anyone know where things stand as far as ripping music from a CD that belongs to your spouse, sibling, roommate, friend, etc.? Any documented cases where there's been some fine or penalty on the matter?<< Flash - I have not heard of any case involving ripping music from CDs not owned by the ripper. The music industry is concerned with piracy on a much larger scale than that. I'm not sure what the exact legal picture is with respect to this. I have read that sharing in a very limited way with friends is protected under the "fair use" provisions of the law. But I am not a lawyer, and I really don't know if that is so. - Allen
