Wasn't there a case a year or two ago when the company that makes the "Real Player" software was forced to withdraw from sale a DVD "backup" program, on the grounds that it infringed copyright? ISTR in that case that the court ruled that there was no "right" to make a backup copy of a DVD. Would that not also apply to a CD?
