What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hi, this is my first post here, but I've had this question for a while. I own an MP3 player that is capable of recording FM radio. I've recorded quite a few songs, and have used an editing software to label them with the proper song title, artist, album, etc. While it helps with the ease of finding a song I'm looking for, my main reason for doing this was because I was trying to give proper credit to the artist and not break any copyright laws.
When I connect my MP3 player to the computer and open Windows Media Player, I have the option of synching my music, and the option of adding the album pictures for my songs onto the music on my MP3 player. I would like to do this.
My question is, since I obtained the songs legally but did not purchase them, can I legally put the album pictures on my MP3 player without paying, or would this constitute theft or a breach of copyright? I'm a stickler for not breaking the law, so this is an important thing for me.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
