Is CD Copy Protection Illegal?

ribbiting writes "US Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va. is asking RIAA execs to explain how they can collect royalties on various blank media at the same time that the RIAA members are implementing copy protection mechanisms, with particular reference to the Audio Home Recording Act (AHRA) of 1992." Glad someone is asking the question.

If you're using music CD-R's to run backups, with the ~$2.00 (last I read) per disk added to go to the record companies,
YOU'RE A MORON.
More likely, you're using the Computer type CD-R's for about $.50 each;
AND YOU'RE A MORON because you don't know what you're
using for backups.
Get A CLUE before you start talking. Your boss might read this, and fire you. I sure as hell wouldn't want you backing up MY Data.
