MP3 shared music for Personal Use - legal?

A friend has been threatened with disclosure to the authorities because he has recorded some shared music off the internet for personal use ''ala Nabster''. Can and will this be a problem for him? Just what authorities would handle this? Are these CDRs illegal to have in his possession?
