You are wrong. Recording music from the radio is, and always has been, illegal in the UK.

My intention here is not to point to the right solution (which I don't know), but to remark that piracy, for some a very big evil and for some others something akin to private copy, is here to stay and must be "workarounded", just in case it can't be reduced to black market levels and becomes widespread (I guess in such case it would be no longer piracy but something else).

Thankfully, most people are honest, and will pay for the books they wish to read. There will always be a small percentage of dishonest people who want "something for nothing"
