(the DMCA says its illegal to rip the DVD due to the encryption cracking, yet Copyright Law says you can make the back as its fair use). -- [65 Arcanist]Filan(High Elf) Zone: Broadband Reports

McSummation Mmmm, Zeebas Are Tastee. Premium,MVM join:2003-08-13 Round Rock, TX kudos:2	Well that's the whole issue with the DMCA - it is in direct violation of the "fair use" laws. The MPAA & RIAA don't really care about "fair use" and they've bought enough CongressCritters to put their "don't care" into law in the form of the DMCA.
