@craiggrannell@mastodon.social Is it illegal to rip a CD for your own use? Apple literally advertised iTunes' ability to do this very thing for years.

@maxleibman@beige.party @craiggrannell@mastodon.social You can always say you did it in Finland, where it is completely legal and has always been.

@maxleibman@beige.party In the UK, yes. There was a very brief time where it was legal, but that was later overturned due to lobbying by industry fuckwits. There are some minor exceptions for people who have a need to use media for accessibility reasons *if* it is not available in a digital format.
