Warning! Converting a CD to MP3 illegal in South Africa

[Stuart]

Well, then 99% of the SA iPod carrying population is then criminals.

I agree. If you own an iPod you should be considered a criminal. Or an iPhone. Or an iPad. Or any electronic device that is distinctly fruity.

I am a criminal. Where do I find IPod Crims Anonymous?

[IcePick88]

I think we all are criminals!

Well I think I will have a chat to my uncle John Edmond he is a board member of SAMRO (South African Music Rights Organization) and NORM (National Organization for Rights in Music) I think he understands the matter as well as what the future might hold.

Apart from being in good company - it doesn't make it right I liked being "legal" with my original CDs. Ah to hwi - I will still be buying the CDs.

This will not stop anything, I, for one, will go along merrily making whatever MP3 I want.

Thank god at least only you have to listen to the 60's and no one else gets tormented....

Music from the 60, 70, 80's and 90's was good stuff, I do like some of the newer cuts too but do not buy the CD's.

However a comment like the above could just get you admission to the pink group!

@Lancelot - what did I do to get admission to the pink group - and how can I undo it?

Frankly you could not scare me with any colour.....

80's nice since I am a 80's kid and since you were born in the 1912's I would expect you to listen to rags......
