I think the fate of copying cd+g's will be tied to the eventual shake-up now occuring with the lawsuits involving downloading of music......hopefully the result will maintain the Illegality of making multiple copies for sale or distribution and the legal ability for making a back-up copy that can be legally used if the orininal is lost,stolen,damaged,ect.
Unfortunately....with DVD's this has not occured... I understand that it is illegal to make ANY copy of a copyrighted DVD...technically if they find one in your house you could be prosecuted.
I also understand that the music companies get a percentage of the sale of BLANK cdr's...so how are they really losing?
