"Consumers have the right to make backup copies and to move (place-shift) their lawfully acquired music, movies and other material from device to device. Home recording and piracy must not be confused."</i><br /><br />When will the RIAA cease its efforts to prevent law abiding citizens from managing their own digital content? How exactly am I breaking the law by making copies of CD's I purchased? Am I missing something here? :?
