how to convert protected files?

[sonic freak]

i was trying to convert a song to AIFF but it's protected.

If I burn it to a CD then re-import it, would that solve it?

Thanks

p.s. not encouraging theft.

rcb,

I agree. I'm not attempting to steal anything. I've been a songwriter for the last ten years, so I know all about it.

My use is just for personal.

But it begs the question: if you want to use popular recorded music for your short films/videos/etc, what are you allowed to use and in what manner are you allowed to use it?
