burn a cd right to a cd?

Like putting a cd in a "cd player" and burning it to the "cd burner?"

I guess you would know the answer by now.
If you have two cd drives on your computer put the disk
to be copied in the player drive and the blank disk in the
burner drive then use the "disk copy" function in your burning
program.
If you only have one drive copy the disk to file first then copy
to the blank disk.
If you do not have a burning program by now (in my experience
every computer I've bought which has a cd rom drive comes with one)
visit your local computer shop or download one from the net.
There are plenty of good free progs out there.
The one I use is Deepburner, it's the free version and you can get it
at www.deeburner.com
As for telling you how to do it - that depends on the burning program
you will be using.

not being a computer geek I always try to do things the easiest way. My computer came equipped with both Windows media player & Nero software. I put a CD into my drive (of course it's a CD drive that is designed to burn CDs, which some of the older drives weren't able to do], put it clean disk into the second drive, open media player or Nero and select COPY the CD.

If I don't have a second drive on the particular computer I'm signed on to, the program copies it to free space on my hard drive and then once the contents of the disc is loaded on the hard drive a screen pops up and tells me to remove the original CD, and insert a new blank CD.

Of course, if a CD is write protected there is no way you can legally copy a CD. True, there are some programs out on the Internet that purport to allow you to remove the write protect on a disk, but, what some people don't realize is many of these sites are monitored by the government/the recording industries specifically for the purpose of finding people who are pirating software! Still more of those so-called 'remove the protection programs' don't do a darn thing and you just get ripped off for the money you paid. In any event, I don't think it's worth the risk.

What would make it worth the risk?

To quote (badly) a 19th century satirist: " That which wouldst cause the greatest stomach paynes to the bullies who maketh their living by giving paynes to me is oft worth the risk of the rabid animal turning about [an] biting my nether regions'

That is pretty much what I was thinking.

FACT: copyright is a minefield!
Copy protection is a means by which the artists are able
to protect their income and I fully agree BUT-
If I buy cd's with copy protection it means that I can't
burn a back-up copy to use, say, in my car or make a compilation
for the car.
That is for my own personal use and convenience and no-one else's.
I can't go out and buy a cd with just the tracks on it I want.
If I copy the disk and give the copy to a friend I am in breach
of copyright.
Everyone who has bought a cd and has allowed someone else
to listen to it is in breach of copyright - read the label - public
performance is prohibited and technically, and that constitutes
a public performance.
Play your cd at a party - breach of copyright.
Play your cd when you have visitors - breach of copyright.
Play your cd too loud so it can be heard in the street - breach of copyright.
Play it too loud in your car - again, breach of copyright.
Like I said - a minefield.
If I buy a cd with or without copy protection I own the cd but I do
not own the music.
The same sort of situation occured when vcr's came on the scene
but the ability to copy was still allowed because copying was still
legitimate for one's own videos eg. video a family wedding and give
copies to your rellies.
You took the pictures - you own the copyright.
I did read a survey result that stated that most of the video
copied from tv was to time-shift programs while people were working
to view later. Again, breach of copyright. If I stick to the letter of the
law it means I can't time-shift a program and never get to see it.
Peoples lifestyles don't always match proramming times.
Cd's on the other hand are usually a permanent copy and it is easy
to give copies to friends or to copy one of theirs for yourself.
In this instance it means the artist loses the sale and takes money
out of their pocket and as such I agree and copy protection is a way
to prevent it.
On the other hand the artist is tacitly telling me that I can't use the
music in a way that suits my lifestyle. I can't make a compilation
of songs for my own use, even if all the songs are by the same
artist from different cd's.
The only alternative there is wait 'till he/she brings out a "best of"
album and buy that.
In my case I'd vote with my wallet and keep it closed.
Then the artist loses a sale. Hmmm.
I've only ever bought one album where I liked every track on it so
what does that tell you about my thoughts on the subject?

Here's a thought. Building designs are also copyrighted so if you
take a photo of someone in front of a building in England at least
some architects over there are trying get the law changed so you
can be sued for breach of copyright by taking an illegal picture
of their (copyrighted) building. How would they police that?

If you rip a cd to mp3 for your i-pod you're in breach of copyright.
An mp3 is not the same as the original because some audio is
discarded to reduce the size so therefore is not the SAME as the
original. Does this still constitute a copy although it still SOUNDS
the same?

Me get off soapbox.

Me go now.
