The UK Intellectual Property Office is planning to legalise the practice of 'ripping' content from CDs and DVDs, in a bid to bring the country's copyright
law up to date for the digital age. Consumers are currently prohibited from copying content on a CDs or DVDs onto MP3 players or PCs. The new law would change this by allowing users to copy the CD or
DVD as long as he owns it and only use it for private purposes.
