Why is it not ok to copyright a CD?

If you have recorded a CD of entirely your own original work (for example, you performing songs you wrote yourself), it is automatically protected by copyright. This gives you the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or publicly play the CD.

A CD created by someone else gives those same exclusive rights to them, so if you copy their CD, you're infringing on their rights.
