I'm in the UK, it has always been tecnically illigal here, but recently in the press there has been a lot of talk of making it legal to have copies of your (properly purchased so owned originals) personal media libraries, legally on your media devices, such as NAS, Androids (washes mouth out) iPhone and iPads.
if that becomes law as is likely, the copy software makers are going to have a field day, as how can anyone such as say Sony persue them, if the activty is legalised for personal use in the UK?
