a few months ago i asked this shaila when i was thinking of getting an ipod. THe answer i received was that if you own the cd, then you can load it, otherwise you shouldn’t. He said that if the cd has a “leasing agreement” (notice many do) he said it’s more chomur but still ok if you bought it. (i know someone who buys cds, loads them onto their ipod and throws out the cds. )
i’m curious to know about the 5 year thing – if its 5 ysr or older you don’t have to buy it. i’ll check it out.
