Is it legal to put music from a checked out library CD into your iTunes library?

I checked out a CD from the public library and I listened to it on my computer, then put two of the songs into my iTunes library. Is this illegal? I mean, I'm not paying for the songs, so I'm confused.

Yes, it is illegal unless the copyright of the CD allows for making unlimited copies (highly unlikely).

It's an illegal violation of copyright. It's also going to be against Library rules, if you read them.

There's no reason to be confused. Copyright law, in its basics, is VERY simple. If you didn't buy the music, you can't copy it. If you DID buy it, you can make a copy for your own personal use, but cannot give it to anyone else (Or keep the copy and dispose of the original)

It shouldn't be but its definitely illegal

Technically it is illegal, but who's gonna know?

yes it's illegal but nobody would know if you kept ur mouth closed
