Yes, making a copy for someone else is stealing. And CD burners were designed for data backup and compilation. The fact that you can copy audio CDs is a result of someone developing software that will do that. It is not the primary intended purpose of the hardware.

Just one question. I have never downloaded anything (music) from the computer before and don't intend to but what about buying the CD and burning a new one for a friend or as a backup? Stealing also? And if so then what the heck was a CD burner ever invented for?
