Depending where you live on the planet it is and it isn't if the CD belongs to you.
If you are in USA then you have the right to make a backup of YOUR disc YOU bought for personal use (You cant lend it to friends or give it away). This copy is to protect your investment against damage. It's called the "Fair usage policy".
If you are in Europe then it depends, Here in UK you can't make a copy, in Holland you can make a copy as many times as you like since royalties are charged on recording mediums.
The whole copyright issue revolves around how to make payments to the artists for their work and pay for the the distribution and promotion systems.
If you make copies of music and give it away (File sharing) or sell it (Piracy) then the artist and the music industry doesn't make any money.
Eventually this ends up in the music industry not investing in artists. This has a knock on effect in the studio business where recording engineers and studios go out of business.
The end result is that you will end up with unoriginal "manufactured" Pop Music since the promoters will eventually only invest in artists who they can guarantee that sales will outweigh the pirated copy losses.
The only other method of guaranteeing sales is to move the medium to a storage system that is (less or) un-copiable.
