no the agreement on the back of the disk says 'for home use only' so you can lend it to your friends and family, as long as they don't pay you(they can buy it off you for money, but you cant charge for lent without a rental copy), without any illegal stuff.
even if it was illegal, which it isn't the police have better things to deal with than 10 CDs being passed around, like the Huge pirates who SELL hundreds of high quality copied CDs

∙ 13y agoNo it is not it is only illegal if you resell it, such as creating a website & asking for credit card info.
There are limits to sharing however. You can only share your iTunes with up to 5 mobile devices or accounts. Here are the current itunes terms of use:
USAGE RULES
(i) You shall be authorized to use Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
(ii) You shall be authorized to use Products on five Apple-authorized devices at any time, except for Content Rentals (see below).
(iii) You shall be able to store Products from up to five different Accounts at a time on compatible devices, provided that each iPhone may sync ringtone Products with only a single Apple-authorized device at a time, and syncing an iPhone with a different Apple-authorized device will cause ringtone Products stored on that iPhone to be erased.
(iv) You shall be authorized to burn an audio playlist up to seven times.
Rule (iii) implies that you are allowed to store or allow someone to store music from up to 5 accounts on an approved device. The 5 accounts could be family or friends. The one restriction is that you could only take from or lend to 5 accounts (or really 4 + your own account). The other caveat the rules make is that you can only sync your iPhone ring tones with one account.

∙ 13y agoYes it is illegal to supply music purchased from the iTunes store to anybody. The music is for your own personal use. As you agreed in the iTunes usage terms...
"You shall be authorized to use the Products only for personal, noncommercial use."
Personal means: of, affecting, or belonging to a particular person rather than to anyone else.
