The claim was that ripping is "absolutely legal and tested in the courts". The 
citation given does not support the claim and is really no better than "we 
haven't sued anyone for it yet". IIRC this is covered in the NPR interview I 
mentioned: http://www.npr.org/sections/talk/2008/01/rip_this_and_sue_that.html

I'm not saying they are really going to go after rippers or that the LAME 
developers could be liable for what users do. I really don't know. I'm just 
saying that it's not so simple as ripping being absolutely legal everywhere. 
At best, it's tolerated.
