It's now illegal - again - to copy CDs or DVDs you've bought to put onto your MP3 player, your computer or other devices.
The government had introduced a new law in October last year meaning it was legal to transfer music into your home library.
But that law has been overturned in the High Court.
It's after a legal challenge from Basca, the Musicians' Union, and industry representatives UK Music.
It's unclear how the change will be enforced.

This can't really be enforced properly, it's going to be another one of them laws which nothing is done about it and everyone disobeys.
