This was specifically intended to legalize the common practice of making copies of music to give to your friends; record companies and artists get a royalty paid by the manufacturers/importers of music recording devices to compensate.I stand corrected, I am however pretty sure that the act is limited to record/tape devices. I don't think it covers the digital realm of current issue. I would be pleased to be corrected on that understanding if I have that wrong.
