Apparently it is now illegal...

.... to create MP3 files for personal use from CDs you have paid for.

It's not too surprising this has happened, because this is a business to make as much money as possible, so fair use is not a concern. And IF they win (which they might well) then I really hope all this stupidity remains in the US and doesn't get imported here. However since we have our own share of the greedy this is an issue of concern for anyone that enjoys listening to music on more than just their CD player.

*edit*
Or maybe not according to an ex Washington post reporter (story originated with the WP apparently).
