It's the title of the article.
The RIAA has claimed that making a digital copy of a CD you've legally bought, is
unauthorized copyright infringement. They've also claimed that making a file available for download should be prosecuted as copyright infringement, even if there's no evidence that anyone downloaded it.
What certain rights-holders think is copyright infringement has very little connection to what most of us think is reasonable, ethical use of what we've bought. And what's "legal" is what stands up in court, not what fits a sensible person's reading of the law.
