*All* kind of un-licenced copying of music is illegal. When I release a
record, I have exclusive right to duplicate the music, which means I am the
only one who can copy it to any format. It doesn't matter if you sell the
tape/CD-R it or use it yourself, even home-taping is illegal.
That's the legal side of it, and those rules apply all over the world, in the
US too. Just read the standard text on any CD.
But the practical side of it is a bit different. I don't think anyone ever has
been charged for copying his/her favourite CD to a tape for private use. So
the basic rule is: if you copy it for your own use, even copy it to a friend,
it's OK, but as soon as you start selling it (even for cost price), you are in
trouble.
