Re: Is It Unethical to Rip CD's?
Sometimes I buy a CD and I don't like everything on it, so I might rip the best ones of off 2 or 3 different CD's and put them together on one CD. Years ago I would put the best songs off of records onto cassette tapes.

I don't give a rip.

Re: Is It Unethical to Rip CD's?
I am sure I broke many copyright laws as an educator- so I am not a good one to comment. I will say I rip CD's and DVD's for archival purpose occasionally.

Re: Is It Unethical to Rip CD's?
If the purpose of your music recording is to minister to the needs of others, why wouldn't you want your music to be used in that fashion?
Some folks aren't able to buy a cd. Some cd's are out of print and can't be bought.
I don't feel guilty about ripping sermons from one cd to give to someone else.

Re: Is It Unethical to Rip CD's?
If you buy a CD or DVD, copy it and give it to a friend, you might as well stuck an extra one in your pocket at the store and stole it. You are a thief. You may not like what I have just said and even argue your point, but according to the laws in America, it is stealing. Bottom line.

I agree.
If I want songs, I purchase them for under a dollar each online at amazon.com, christianbook.com or walmart.com and put them on a CD myself. With each song, comes the legal license to burn it to a CD for my personal use.

There's this cool site called PirateBay that has them for free.... not sure how they do that.

Re: Is It Unethical to Rip CD's?
So, is it ethical or not??  On the one hand, it seems unethical. On the other, I could just check them out of the library over and over and over and use non-profit money to make it happen.

Buy the specific songs you like from Amazon.com after you have listened to the CD's from the library. Then burn them to a CD. The price of an entire CD is usually much cheaper on Amazon as well and downloads quickly.
