Likely is infringing, but not definitively. Distribution is generally not fair use, but there are some exceptions.
- nerdponx 9y agoI was under the impression that ripping an MP3 from a CD constituted an illegal reproduction, so it's a little surprising to me that the law doesn't apply in the other direction.
- jsjohnst 9y agoDepends on where you live. For example, in the UK I heard it's illegal again (has gone back and forth over the years).
- LamaOfRuin 9y agoIANAL, but... You can't say anything definitively falls under fair use. Fair use is a case by case determination by a court limited to each specific instance (so if you do the same exact thing a second time it could be found to no longer be fair use).
