Because some people in #Germany seem to have fallen for the music/film industry's whispering lies: It is perfectly legal for you to rip/copy unprotected music CDs that you get from the library or a friend/family member. It is called #Privatkopie (UrhG §53) [1]. This right is the reason you pay a levy on every storage device (SD Card, hard drive etc) you buy. That levy compensates the right holders. However, you officially cannot copy media that are copy protected 1/2
