    In the past have purchased a lot of music from iTunes and google music.

    I have downloaded the music to my pc.

    Is it legally allowed to copy this music onto my spouse smartphone or onto a smartphone of my children

    What is the legal situation?

    Did you have any issue taping something on cassette tape in the 80s or 90s?

    Ever record anything off the TV with a VCR?

    Why is this any different?

    You're absolutely, grand, go for it. Nobody will kick your door down.

    I assume there is a usage agreement between me and the vendor.

    The question is if this usage is transferable

    Do they not have Terms and Conditions posted on their websites?
