That's exactly the point - there is no "personal use" exemption.....unlike
is USA.

Copying your own CD onto your own iPOD is a breach of the UK copyright law.

There is a "time shifting" exemption for VCRs (and I assume PVRs) so doing
that is legal. I guess by implication that its therefore legal to use your
Video iPOD or similar to view TV programs you recorded from your
Tivo/Windows Mediacenter.......but illegal to put songs from your own
music collection onto the same iPOD.

Doh!
