Perhaps you see nothing wrong in it, but it sure ain't legal, at least not here in the UK. Might be different in the US, but I rather doubt it. That's the reason that, in the UK, a tax levy was imposed on blank cassette tapes back in the 1970s or 80s which was subsequently distributed to the music industry specifically because they successfully argued that virtually all cassette tapes were being used to illegally record copyrighted material. We still have such a levy imposed on "CDR-Audio" CDs, which are used in HiFi CD recorders.
