You make a good point Dave. I wouldn't dispute your right to burn copies of your cd's as mp3 files if the UK laws allow it.
On many Cd's these days you get access to extra content through a website. When you buy a cd maybe there should be a website linked to it where you can download mp3 versions of the songs to your PC once.
As for copy protection, the record companies obviously need to come up with a better solution than they have at the moment. At the end of the day however they have a right to protect their product. There are plenty of examples where people who break the law have made it tougher for people who don't and I think this is another case.
