Interesting article and interviews on youtube about the copyright law in the UK and what people know about it:
Copyright law gives copyright owners the exclusive right to copy work, such as music and film, issue copies to the public and make changes to the work.

For example, anyone copying purchased music CDs to play on an MP3 music player, an activity known as format-shifting, is breaking copyright law.
