Copyright laws state that a copyrighted work can be reproduced without permission if it is not reporduced in its entirety, as in when newspapers quote entire paragraphs from copyrighted works, or when you see a page or two as a sample on Amazon.
CDs are recorded at a sampling rate of 1411 Kbps, but an MP3 might be only 192 Kbps. So an MP3 is only 13.6% of the original work, thus it is legal to reproduce.
What do you think?
