So today any *PRIVATE* digital copy of a (digitally protected) source is illigal here in Europe. Only good, old analogue copies are still legal *for private use*.

So if one prefers to go the legal path he has eigther to buy everything legally (but no one would buy e.g. an audio CD twice - one for everyday usage and one as a "backup"), or he has to make analogue copies.

It is no longer legal to buy e.g. an audio CD (for usage at home) and to make a digital copy of it for usage in your car.

Eh? It's not illegal here in Sweden, and I'm pretty sure we're not alone about that.

A copy is a copy, regardless of the media used.

So you see:
Throwing away your old (analogue) "crap" would be the most stupid thing you could do!


Or you could just make sensible, researched choices into what digital hardware you buy?

Boycott makers of copy-protected CDs?

Or buy a magic marker! :-D
