Copying CDs to iPods to become legal under copyright law shake-up
t’s a law many of us have been breaking for years – but now music fans can copy CDs to iPods and laptops without being treated as criminals.
Ministers are shaking up copyright laws to allow users to copy material to devices such as eBooks, tablets and phones for their own use, but it will still be illegal to give copies to other people.
Controversially, the government ruled out imposing an iTax on all music storage devices, a levy imposed across Europe.
It puts Britain at loggerheads with Brussels, which wants to charge users for copying – or format-shifting – music files.
For example, in France, a 64GB iPod is hit with an iTax of £12.20.
