About Mp3

[Bravo]

according to the lastest law in europe, whoever download, ripped, transfer or send songs or mp3 are consider as illegal. Even though u bought a original cd... u still not allow to ripped into your pc. It consider as illegal too. Unless u download these mp3 from those website that need to paid. But it still illegal if u transfer to ur mp3 player like iPOD.
I would like to ask since all the mp3 in our computer or mp3 player is illegal. will i being arrest when i go through the kastam? as i know, those european country especially UK and US, they are quite strict to this. i'm just worrying and no idea about it. if i'm not mistaken, there are few people been arrested due to this illegal mp3.
need so advise or opinion...

gee,i never thought of it b4..
but usually mp3 players, onc u transfer in it, it wont be able to transfer back to pC.. unless u'r player is usb-handydrive..
coZ i got 2 types of player..
1st is the real mp3 player[jazpiper] with lcd screens n all..mp3 inside it i cant put back in pC.. where 2nd player is mp3-pendrive type, juz like normal pendrive..
so i think if u got those mp3 player such as nomad,jazpiper,rio n all, i might be a problem...

No laa..mp3's that are converted from original CDs owned by you and used only for personal listening purposes are not illegal. It's only when you start distributing or selling them, then that's illegal. Keeping them on a server or location that prohibits mp3s is illegal too (especially if they are governed by local copyright laws, like office computers).

[robokopf]

ermm have u guys read about it? we will still be listed as a third world country as long as piracy still exist here. don't worry getting caught red handed downloading copyrighted material in malaysia. we still don't have law impose to punish or fine song swapper.
