RIAA: you aren't authorized to rip your CDs - Boing Boing:

The RIAA has told a court that ripping your CDs to MP3 format is "unauthorized" and illegal, in a brief filed with the Arizona US District Court where Atlantic Records is suing Jeffrey and Pamela Howell. The last time this issue came up, in the Grokster Supreme Court case, the RIAA's lawyer said that ripping CDs was not illegal and was implicitly authorized by the record labels.
