I don't believe anyone's ever mentioned "stolen CDs" We're talking about the fact that it is currently
illegal in the UK to transfer to an iPod or other MP3 player
a CD that you have perfectly legitimately bought. That is clearly a ridiculous state of affairs and one that the law needs to address, which is what's being proposed by the government.
