Actually you own the plastic the CD is made of, but you do not
own the music that is on the disk. You own a License. Otherwise,
you could press a million copies of it and go into business selling
it.

The is nothing wrong with you loaning a copyrighted disk to a friend
as long as you loose the use of it in the process, like
a book. If you loan your Harry Potter (a copyrighted book)
to a friend, you can not read it while your friend has it.
Making a "copy" of the book and giving it to your friend
is steeling, because you did not loose the use of the book
during the loan.

in canada it is legal to make a copy of music for personal enjoyment...
it's called private copying and we pay a levy on blank media that we buy
which gets distributed to artists to compensate for it... so if i loaned
heather one of my cd's it would be perfectly legal for her to make a copy
of it...

I would check your version of copyright in Canada.
'Lending' especially for copying is certainly illegal in the UK and EU.
See what is printed on the case/disk of any CD/DVD.
If the same goes in Canada, then I need say no more - you would be tagged as
stealing.
