UK Courts Deem Ripping, Copying & Backing Up “YOUR” Legally Purchased Music Is Now ILLEGAL. WTF!?!
While I am an avid proponent of copyright and all creative intellectual property and going as far as to teach about it, while enforcing copyright protection for my own intellectual property (which thieves, clients and friends have tried *and failed* to steal), I find this drastic move by the UK not just deplorable, but a universe-sized waste of money.
Which I have a sneaky suspicion many of you would be in equal thought as well.

(PS, perhaps it is "only" about money and those in power in the courts are merely doing what politicians in the US (and abroad) do, holding out to be paid off and then putting something into law. E.g.: Banning of Tesla cars on the east coast and a bigger POS; the horrific Monsanto Act.)
