hi john
would you have asked the same question 15 years ago had you recorded  
a tape and the gift were a walkman (and there was much less hype  
about stealing music…)? probably not…

even though what you are doing is technically illegal, in my opinion  
i consider it fair use of something i have bought. and believe me, i  
BUY 98% of my music!

i wouldn't say the same thing about the university music library though…

best regards
