It's a civil, not a criminal matter (copying for your own personal
use). It's the PRS (Performing Rights Society) that would prosecute.
The police, and subsequently, the CPS likely wouldn't be interested.
Even if you were ripping for sale, it's quite likely that Customs &
Revenue would prosecute in any case.
It used to be possible to buy a license that allowed you to record
material you own (i.e. not record from radio/TV) for personal use. The
PRS withdrew the license from sale because it cost more to administer
than any revenue it gained. This was some 25 years or so ago.
