Recording copyright material
The price of a consumer-use disc includes a copyright fee
that has been paid to the copyright owner (in countries
where the copyright fee collection system has been
established based on their respective copyright laws). This
means that you can use these discs to record music and
other material for your personal use. If you want to use a
disc for anything other than personal use, you must get
permission from the copyright owner (note that copyright
laws vary from country to country; check the copyright-
related laws in your particular country for more information).
Broadcast programs,
settes, vinyl records, etc.) and musical performances are
all protected by copyright laws. You must get permission
from the copyright owner if you sell, transfer, distribute or
lease a disc recorded from the above mentioned sources,
or if you use it as part of a business (such as for back-
ground music in your store).

However, this situation may change.
The process of finalization fixes the contents of a
place for good by creating a Table of Contents (
short) at the beginning of the disc which tells other players
exactly what's on the disc and where to find it. Once a
