No, I don't know, even the German law.
For me I have my own law defending the attitude to be able to and allowed to
make a copy for BACKUP and therefore SECURITY reasons. This is just a piece of
software, program which in itself has no physical appearance.
I don't know if GEMA allows to make a backup of music CDs. AFAIK it is OK except
if you sell or lend for money, meaning only for personal use.
