No. the proposal to limit home recordings to 28 days never made it into law. Private home recording remains a grey area because of this.

In any case, copyright infringement is a civil matter, not criminal. Copyright theft (actually distributing what you have copied) is a criminal matter, and something people can and do get done for.
