I have always wondered, I have ripped hundreds of CDs which sit in boxes which i never expect to access again; i do not even own a cd player.
do I need to keep them indefinitely? what if they were lost, would I be obligated to delete the rips?
- curtis3389 7y agoIANAL, but here's a section from the relevant law: https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#117 https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#117 Based on that, I don't think you would need to delete them.
- rwallace 7y agoAs I understand it (usual disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer; if you want to be sure, ask someone who is): - If you sell or give the CDs to someone else, you are legally obliged to delete the rips. - But if you toss them in a landfill, you are free and clear.
