UK.gov makes total pig's ear of attempt to legalise home CD ripping

nomis65

I only buy CDs as a way of obtaining music in a half-decent uncompressed format. I don't even own a CD player now, other than in the car, so I'm obliged to rip the content to a file server so I can play it on my audiophile network player. If it was as easy to buy a 16/44.1 (or ideally 24/96 or 24/192) FLAC download as it is to buy a CD from Amazon, and from the same back catalogue, and at no price premium, then my CD buying days would be over and this would be a non-issue. If the music industry is really against media shifting then they need to deliver the content in a decent format.
