Making a copy and redistributing the copy is not.

Pete, you have combined two separate and distinct actions into
one statement. I would readily agree that redistributing a copy
is illegal, however, I think that all of those copy machines in
our public libraries clouds the "making a copy" issue.

It is interesting to note that despite the entertainment industry's
attempts to convince the general public that "music downloading",
their words, will result in a lawsuit, to date all of the filed
lawsuits have been filed against "file sharing", those who make
music files on their computers available for others.
