p2pnet.net News:- Britons who own MP3 players which they've filled with copies of legally purchased CDs are breaking the law.
That's because "making this copy is itself illegal," says Open Rights Group executive director Suw Charman.
"Copyright law is out of step with this common behaviour which is seen by the majority as morally and ethically acceptable. The law should be changed to reflect new, fair uses of copyrighted materials."
If you're in a UK citzen, you have until the day after Christmas to join an online protest to petition prime minister Tony Blair to create a new exception to copyright law that gives individuals the right to create a private copy of copyrighted materials for their own personal use, including back-ups, archiving and shifting format.
