CDs don't even have DRM in the general case. However, local laws can still forbid ripping (e.g. here in the UK where after a brief period of legality it is once again illegal to rip a CD).

- sundvor 11y agoRoger that; I used the DRM term incorrectly, meaning copyright law. Most of my collection was bought in Norway, but I did the ripping a decade ago plus minus a few years in Australia. For the time being we have much better consumer protection here. I don't even use my collection now that I have Spotify Premium. The only music I've bought lately is some 24bit high bitrate stuff.
