Afriend has a cd of one of your favorite artists and has offered to let you copy it. is it okay for you to copy the cd? why or why not?

Yes, this means that the copying was authorized, any ripping or copying of a cd taht is NOT authorized, also you cannot copy the cd fr commercial reasons only for personal use. If you dont use the cd fr its intended  use and  pass it off as your own then your could serve 5 years of jail time and pay  250.000 dollars fine  because this is considered piracy

hope this helps
