1 edit | It's not just about burning or uploading... Cracking the DRM also allows uses such as:
* storing movies on a media server
* playing discs on Linux and other open OSes
* playing discs in HD on displays that aren't "approved" for HD display (due to lack of HDCP inputs), if/when the downrez flag starts being used
* Backing up discs before the toddler or dog starts teething on them
* Format shifting (it would be nice to be able to buy a HD or BD disc, then rip it, downconvert to 480p, and burn a regular DVD to watch on a portable). Sound like a weird thing to do? Ripping a CD to a MP3 player is no different...
Not to mention other uses allowed by Fair Use, including copying excerpts for educational purposes.

Damn Straight!
At this point in time, the only machine I have that will play(soon to rip) BD is this laptop.
Now, at $24-$29 per DVD, Hell Yes I want to back them up!

I have a Pioneer plasma HDTV that just happens to be too old to have HDMI. I use component video to connect it to my Dish Network HDTV receiver. It displays very nicely in 1080i. I don't want the MPAA to suddenly decide my TV is not supported for full HD viewing.
* storing movies on a media server I am looking into one of these, too, for my music and my movies. |

I cannot stand demagoguery. If you disagree with my stance, you're a blithering twit. You're not a twit, are you? |
