Years ago I followed John Lennon's advice and made cassettes of my albums and kept the albums to make another cassette when the first one wore out. It worked great. Today I have a music server with boxes and boxes of CDs in the basement. Offered to others? Never.
A recent US court ruling said it was legal to rip DVDs to a media server and play them back without the original DVD being in the system. They refused to issue an injunction against the company making the hardware and software to do this.
It seems that some members of the court are more far sighted than the US Congress that passed the DMCA under pressure from well funded special interest groups.
