[Year 12 IPM] music copyright

[Andrew Grimshaw]

It is currently not legal to copy a commercial CD in Australia or to rip mus=
ic off that CD for any reason. 

I have heard rumours of new legislation that will allow people to rip CDs fo=
r personal use, but I havent seen anything concrete.

  Hello all

  I have had a student approach me about converting a file from a music cd(w=
hich he has purchased legitamitely) to a mp3 so that he can use the music on=
 a photostory project. The network manager at my school tells me that this i=
s illegal. Can anyone throw any light on this issue?

  Thank you
