I don't know, there is no license agreement entered into upon purchase of a CD by a consumer. It is not like software where you are supposed to read the terms and click 'I agree' before using it.
CDs say 'unauthorised copying prohibited' but they haven't really defined what is authorised.
Historically, if you have purchased it you have personal use rights to do whatever you want with it for personal use only. It seems they now want to restrict personal use rights which is not progressing thinking on their part at all, and it is hard to imagine a court will rule in favour of restricting personal use rights now after decades of cassette dubbing and CD ripping.
