</span>That's illegal, and can get you in trouble. From what I understand,<br>
time shifting has been found legal, there's some question about format<br>
shifting, but a lot of people do it.<br>
<br>
But when one copy is retained by you, and another by someone else,<br>
that's illegal copying. If I were you I'd either:<br>
<br>
1) Keep every CD you ripped as evidence of ownership in case the RIAA<br>
police knock on your door, or<br>
<br>
2) Don't rip the CDs, give them to Goodwill without retaining a copy,<br>
and just listen to your streaming services.<br>
<br>
I'd highly advise you do one of the preceding two alternatives.<br>
