RIAA against CD ripping

The RIAA are against ripping CDs.

Obviously, there can be some damages if it's abused. Many lawsuits have come from such circumstances.

But obviously, the user's right to make a backup copy of a CD is important also.

Here's a scenario I encounter. I have CDs that sometimes make it in my car. Once they get in my car, they may be handled by myself, my wife or kids. The level of care delivered to the CD will vary depending on who handles the CD.

Making a backup and using it in the car saves my bought copy. I've been wanting to do this, but still haven't gotten around to it.

Makes sense to me, and I believe that is one legit use of a backup copy.
