Common sense may tell you that, but in my jurisdiction you'd be very
wrong.

Of course, common sense would tell you that when I burn my own singing
to a CDR, I shouldn't have to pay the music industry.

Since I do one, I do the other without any moral or ethical objection.

Before posting legal advice please take the time to investigate where
the person asking the question is located since their jurisdiction may
have vastly different rules then yours.
