Some people used Napster to create audio CD-Rs where a royalty
was paid. Sect. 1008 is not limited to situations where a royalty is
paid anyway.

The brief Lee cited says:

Senate Report at 48 ("a personal computer whose recording function is
designed and marketed primarily for the recording of data and computer
programs * * * would [not] qualify as a 'digital audio recording device'"
http://www.loc.gov/copyright/docs/napsteramicus.html

but that only suggests, conversely, that a personal computer whose
recording function is designed and marketed primarily for the recording
of music would qualify.
