Many times, when people think of CD
duplication, they think of something
that is not legal. There are some many
articles in the newspapers today dealing
with issues of copyright infringement
and CD duplication. This is true especially
with music, dvds, and computer software.
However, CD duplication is legal and
also many times is a needed service.
Fair use governs the duplication
of CDs for the average home consumer.
I myself have used simple software
and the CD burner on my computer for
a simple CD duplication procedure.
I prefer not to play purchased music
CDs in my car’s CD player. For
some odd reason, the glued or pasted
labels jam my CD player. So, I make
a copy of the CD to play in my car.
If it were not for CD duplication,
I would never be able to play the
music in my car.
Commercially though, many people
have need for CD duplication services.
New bands may record a CD and choose
to self produce the CD. Online, there
are many companies that will perform
CD duplication with costs as low as
$1 per CD. Speakers may record inspirational
messages on CD and than duplicate
those for resale later. These are
valid uses for CD duplication.
Companies may also look to use CD
duplication services. CDs are one
way of backing up and archiving valuable
data. CD duplication can ensure that
there is more than one copy of the
data available.
Not only can audio CDs and data CDs
be duplicated, but CD duplication
can also be done with DVDs. Even family
movies can be duplicated and shared
for that next family reunion. Any
form of data that resides on CD can
be duplicated with CD duplication
services.
CD duplication can be done in several
ways depending on your needs. If,
like me, you are a low volume user,
you may choose to duplicate the occasional
CD with commercially available software
and your personal computer. Other
users may choose to invest in a CD
duplicating machine that can make
several copies in just a few minutes
from a master that is inserted into
the CD duplication machine. High volume
users may look into an online CD duplication
service. With an online service, you
can upload your information, specify
the number of CDs you need and pay
for the service with a credit card.
In a few days, you can have the CDs
delivered to your door step.
