The copyright debate should cover our rights, not just our responsibilities. As laughable as it sounds, last week the UK finally legalised copying music CDs for personal use – ripping or "format-shifting" discs to your computer so you can listen to albums on your portable device of choice. The change comes into effect in October but of course Brits have been ripping their music for more than a decade, just like everyone else, using software such as Apple's iTunes. It just took a very long time for the law to catch up with the technology.
