Recording and finalizing discs
Unlike other recording media, recordable CDs have a number of distinct states, and what you can do with a disc depends on the current state of the disc. The figure below shows the three states�blank, partially recorded, and finalized�and summarizes what�s possible ( ) and impossible ($) in each.

Recording copyright material
The price of a consumer-use disc includes a copyright fee that has been paid to the copyright owner (in countries where the copyright fee collection system has been established based on their respective copyright laws). This means that you can use these discs to record music and other material for your personal use. If you want to use a disc for anything other than personal use, you must get permission from the copyright owner (note that copyright laws vary from country to country; check the copyright-related laws in your particular country for more information). Broadcast programs, CDs, other recorded media (cassettes, vinyl records, etc.) and musical performances are all protected by copyright laws. You must get permission from the copyright owner if you sell, transfer, distribute or lease a disc recorded from the above mentioned sources, or if you use it as part of a business (such as for background music in a store).

* Once the CD-RW has been erased, it becomes recordable again and skip IDs can be set and cleared. ** In general, current CD players cannot play CD-RW discs. However, this situation may change. The process of finalization fixes the contents of a CD-R in place for good by creating a Table of Contents (TOC, for short) at the beginning of the disc which tells other players exactly what's on the disc and where to find it. See Finalizing a disc on page 42 for more on finalization.
