   I thought he was talking about the paragraph below. The part about
making a backup ("copy") for someone else (from your CD). I'm not
a lawyer, but I'm not too sure about the last part. Under Fair Use in
the US, I believe I can make copies of CD's I own, and I can even
put together a 'compilation' CD which I can give to a friend, but I
don't think I can make a copy for someone else - unless they
provided me with the original and I returned both the original
and backup. Again, I'm not a lawyer and it's just my opinion.
