No, iTunes is 100% legal.
Unfortunately iTunes is not 100% legal. Itunes sells downloads from providers on the basis of the providers giving false information and does nothing to verify or even question the false information.
I am the owner of copyrighted music that is available on iTunes. When I approached iTunes I was told that they had nothing to do with it and I must "reason" with the provider.
I believe this is wrong and they are as irresponsible as the "provider". I have made no agreement with iTunes or the provider and so my dispute is with iTunes as much as with the illegal provider. The provider is totally unreasonable and is ripping me off anyway and so will not act in a reasonable or responsible manner.
iTunes/Apple agree that music must have the permission of the music copyright holder before they can be presented for download. The provider in question here does not own the music copyright and does not have my permission. The provider has broken the terms of their agreement with iTunes by doing this but iTunes continue to insist that the problem must be resolved between the illegal provider and myself. Meanwhile iTunes continue to provide the illegal downloads, without question
Both iTunes and the provider know that I can do nothing other than take expensive and time consuming legal action, from across the Atlantic. I am an independent artist. I am getting no royalties from this situation, from the provider or from iTunes.
I therefore conclude that iTunes is exploiting independent artists and ripping people off knowing there is not much anyone can do about it.
yes itunes is legal, if it wasn't then millions of people wouldn't be able to use it. The songs cost .99 and therefore are legal to download. They maybe cheaper, but they are legal
Definately not. As long as you received the CD legally, it is legal to rip it into iTunes in order to sync it onto your iPod. Good Question, lots of people wonder about this.
It is not illegal to borrow a CD from the library and listen to it.It is a copyright violation to make a copy of the music by ripping it to iTunes. It is also illegal to burn the music files to another CD.
CD-WOW.COM or iTunes
Importing a CD means your copying it to your computer. So if you want the CD in the computer to save it in iTunes or to burn it to a blank CD then after inserting it into the CD drive you'd want to select import.
You need ripping software like cdex
search it on itunes. the CD is The Fame.

yes. Actually no it's not. A long as you don't share the mp3s or let someone borrow the CD to rip it as well.
No, it's just illegal to redistribute the ripped CD
Taking something off a CD: If you went to a shop, bought a CD, then put all the tracks from the CD to your computer that would be CD Ripping (ripping the data of your CD) it also could happen with DVD's.
First you have to "rip" the CD tracks into a suitable format (usually mp3). Ripping software is available for free on the Web. Then use iTunes to copy the ripped tracks to your iPod.
As long as you have bought the CD or content on the CD, or own the content on it, then it is perfectly safe. But if you have illegally downloaded it, then 1. it is illegal, and 2. it is most likely very unsafe and can cause viruses.
You could put the CD on iTunes by just inserting it and where it says "Devices" click on the name of the CD and inn the bottom right corner there should be a button that says import CD. However with a DVD you would have to rip it but that is illegal
if you mean ripping cd's then no, it should not damage your computer at all
No, you can't get a virus from ripping a CD. Viruses come from bad downloads and websites on the internet, and CDs and CD ripping does not use or require the use of the internet.
If you have a Windows computer then you can use Windows media player. Just place the CD in the drive and click on the rip tab at the top. If you own an ipod or an Apple computer then you can use itunes to rip cd. At worst you can find a CD ripping software application online.
It is safe it does not hurt it
Insert CD, go to itunes and select rip audio off CD.
