CD burners are an amazing technology tool and provide consumers with many legitimate uses. People legally use CD burners to save work documents and digital video and photos, for example. Remember, you are allowed to legally make one backup of your CDs as long as it’s for your own personal use. The same is of course true for DVD burners, MP3 players, etc.
