Funnily enough it's even (much) less clear cut with music. I live in a country that has a "blank media levy", i.e. I pay a few cents for every blank CD (or a few bucks for every HDD, for that matter) I buy. In turn I am entitled to copy music for private and non-commercial purposes. This includes mix tape swapping during recess, copying CDs or MP3s from friends (or the public library) but also downloading from the internet (provided I don't upload at the same time, which would amount to distributing or disseminating publicly, which is not allowed. In other words, one-click-hosts: yes, bittorrent: no.)
That said, I'm perfectly happy with Spotify these days, so no need to make use of those rights.
