It turns out the story I referenced in this article isn't entriely accurate . .  The Howell's did rip their own CD's but they placed them on a file sharing network and that is a No-no!  Still, the RIAA states that if you rip your own CD then you are stealing.  That much is very accurate.  I have done some digging and have found some interesting links for anyone interested . . .

So even though the story is not correct about the Howell's, it is correct that if you rip a CD that you have legally purchased, you are breaking the law according to the RIAA.  

This really makes me mad . . .
