Music ripping flow chart

The London News Review has produced a flowchart documenting the steps one may want to ask before ripping a CD or a music track. It starts with the question of whether a recording is at least 50 years old (based on the British copyright laws, i suppose) to asking yourself if the label owning the track you want to rip has a history of swindling its artists. Kudos to this web site for taking a humourous look at the music ripping issue and injecting certain moral and ethical questions into the thought process. It's stated that this flowchart is only version 1.0 so maybe we can expect to see improved versions of this which will include other questions?
