Is it legal to record music with a recording program?
April 202011
So I have a program on my computer that records all sound made while it’s on. Would it be legal to record music and then change it to an mp3 and listen to it? Or would this fall under the category of an illegal copy?
You didn’t say anything about the music being recorded. Are you referring to, for example, watching a video by a mainstream artist or band that’s on YouTube, recording that, and thereby getting the song? That would be illegal.
If you mean random sounds, video chat you’re participating in, music you create with music software, things like that, that’s perfectly legal.
