how many legal copies?

[crisgal]

If I buy a song from itunes, and then burn onto a disc, and I want one, my husband wants one, I need a copy for the car etc, then lose one, so need to make ANother copy - will it let me?
I think there used to be a limit as to how many times you could burn it.

If you save it onto your computer hard drive initially it'll be there for you to copy a smany times a s you want. I'm not sure of the legal position though

[Old_Geezer]

Not that I have much to do with itunes but I'd suspect it would be technically possible to copy as many as you wish. But I also suspect you have bought one copy and unless your country has some 'fair use' laws that allow more, one is all you should have.

[ummmm]

Just copy your copy.

Itunes hasn't put copy protection on it's music for a couple of years now, you can make as many copies as you like for personal use.

"my husband wants one"

Unsure that qualifies as personal use ;-)

[ABerrant]

Until the UK government enacts the proposed changes to the current laws of copyright you are not allowed to make any further copies or format changes for personal use - UK has never had a "fair use" clause.

But if it is out of copyright then it doesn't belong to Itunes anyway?

[ABerrant]

Songs still in copyright do not belong to Itunes either.

[jomifl]

Surely if Itunes don't own the copyright of a song they can only charge you for the download, after that you can do what you like with it.
