You are allowed under copywrite law to make a copy of a transmission for your private use. You are also allowed to make a tape copy of a music CD that you have purchased, but again, only for your own private use. (say, if you can play CD's in your house, but not in your car or boombox.)

You are not allowed to make a thousand hi-fi copies of your CD and pass them out to your friends, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to these "shared folder" deals.
