Scary Biscuits

As suprising as it may be we don’t actually have a right to fair use of digital media in this country, so for instance ripping (copying) your CD to your MP3 player is actually illegal. Personally this seems to be a rediculious situation, when you buy some music or a film you should have the right to transfer it to any format you should wish.

I would point out that by this I mean for personal use only, I don’t think you should be able to copy media to give freely to anyone you want. But you should be able to transcode, or convert any media for personal use, for instance transcoding a DVD film so you can play it on your iPod.

Anyway in support for such law in the UK you can sign this Number 10 petition:
