I thought that Phillips put a fairly large warning on their press ads,
reminding people that they needed the copyright owner's permission to record
with their CDR machines.
Still, ads where people make up compilations to take to parties could be
considered "encouragement", but there's no way to know if they had the
permission or not, it's all implied. Similar I guess to car ads where you
see a car whizzing down the road - of course, they're not doing anything
illegal in the ad, but it could be inferred that the car is a great one to
go speeding in.
It's not the recorders that are doing anything that breaks copyright, it's
the owners :)
