Thanks everyone who put forth their information they found. I found this and I think this pretty much narrows it down to what myself and others are trying to do.

Know Your Fair Use Rights
While copyright law grants authors the exclusive right to reproduce and profit from their works, the law recognizes an exception called fair use. Fair use permits consumers' limited personal, non-commercial use of lawfully obtained copyrighted material without prior consent of the copyright owner. It allows you to photocopy parts of books you own and make back-up tapes of movies or music you own onto VHS or cassette tapes. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that fair use is necessary to avoid an irreconcilable conflict between copyright law and the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.

The artist and companies still made their money off me, what some of them seem to be trying to do, is get everyone to buy more than one copy so they can make more money. Sorry corporate america, I buy things once and thats it. If I break it and it's my fault, then I'll buy it again. You have enough of my money.

BigD, I know you've been quiet about all this, but let me say thanks. Your tutorials are a great help. That last setting you gave works great.
