Sharing SACDs

Does anyone share SACDs with one another, obviously for ripping?  I was just curious of the ethics.  For example, if I discovered a great SACD and you were a friend, I would want to share it with you.  You might rip it and you might not.

If you shared an SACD with me and I liked it, but not to the point where I would go out and buy it, would it be all right if I made a copy for myself just to have in my library?

I'm interested in the opinions of others.  I am far removed from any audiophiles in my town.  None that I know of and I'm at least several hours away from any high-end stereo shops.

I would never condone any "illegal" activities, but if one wanted to rip a "back up" copy of a SACD what would be a good piece of software?

I think it's also a question of numbers. I have never duplicated more than one of the same CD, and I never did it for profit. It was most often so I could have a back-up copy of a CD for my car, or sometimes because a friend asked for it.

Same here @roxy54 .  I rip all my CD and SACDs to my Aurender then put them in a box for storage.  My wife will discover them after I leave this world and sell them for $5 at a garage sale 🤣

 Rip it and enjoy it. No one here ever dubbed a cassette for a friend ? Should we all be arrested.? If you were selling copies and profiting its a different story. Let 'er rip.
