    They are free to make copies of their own CDs, DVDs etc for their own personal use.

    Just need to be a bit clearer, doesnt allow people to start distributing them, just clears up the silliness that in theory if you bought a CD you'd legally have to buy it again as a download if you wanted to put it on your MP3 player/ computer

    Wont make a snowballs difference as (1) few people knew it was illegal and (2) almost exclusively people have taken a sensible approach.
