According to this article, simply by ripping CDs that you have purchased in good faith and copying the tracks to your iPod or other digital audio device, you are contravening copyright law.

Far be it for me to encourage people to break the law, but if downloading music from a P2P network and transferring music that you have purchased from one format to another are regarded as morally equal by the Irish music industry, then I really don’t see why anyone would be bothered legally purchasing their music (other than from somewhere like iTunes).
