At least in Canadia you can make "a" copy. In NZ you are forbidden
from making any copies of anything, not even for personal use. And
on the news a few weeks ago someone from Sony mentioned that
theoretically anyone in NZ with an iPod could be stopped, the iPod
examined for copyright material, and possibly an arrest would follow

I doubt there would be many homes in NZ without an MP3 player,
PC or CD burner that don't have copied material. Including video
tapes

All of the above doesn't stop me transferring vinyl to CD, especially
vinyl that never was re-released. I don't feel I have the right to do it,
it's simply for my own harmless (IMHO) convenience I also object
to some of the anti-piracy s/w on CDs that can stop them playing in
some units. (Bob Ammerman expressed similar distaste when he had
troubles with Macromedia and a particular TV - unfit for proper use).
I think there have been several recalls of failed attempts after much
customer disatisfaction
