Copyright Issues on CD Burn

I have an Rolland 8 track digital recorder which was used to record my bands music. It has an optical line out that I used to record directly into the optical line in of a Sony MZ-RH910. I then transferred the music file to my computer and attempted to use Sonic Stage to burn a CD. I received a message that I could not do this because of copyright issues. How can there be copyright issues for music created by my band. Is there some other way I should have approached making a CD? Is the message Sony related or possibly from the 8 track recorder?

Convert to a WAV file using HI-MD Renderer (see downloads) and burn to CD using alternative software (e.g. Nero).

Thanks a lot. That worked perfectly. Would you happen to know why I could not burn it without resorting to other measures? What's the story on copyright restrictions? At this point, I would just like to understand how this all works?

A digital recording uploaded to PC and then converted to Wav would be a perfect copy. Which means, possible loss of revenue for Sony Music or other record companies. Of course, this doesn't apply to your recordings from your keyboard. But Sony had to keep their music business happy. Buncha paranoid geezers, they are.

Sony only intended that Line in and Mic recordings should be able to be converted to WAV files. Hats off to Marc's HI-MD Renderer!
