[...] on parle énormément du format de compression musicale MP3 qui permet de télécharger des morceaux de musique sur Internet. Ce format n'est pas illicite en soi, il peut être utilisé pour compresser ses propres disques et pour son usage personnel. Par contre, contrairement à ce qui est dit ici et là, la mise à disposition du public d'œuvres musicales est prohibée sauf autorisation des ayants droit (auteurs, éditeurs, producteurs, interprètes). Le simple fait de détenir de tels fichiers sans avoir acquis le support original (CD, cassette...) est un délit. 6, record 1, French, - format%20de%20compression%20musicale%20MP3
