how much teeth do you think the DMCA really has? in Technology Law & Politics http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18922493 en Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:11:37 EDT Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:11:37 EDT Re: how much teeth do you think the DMCA really has? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18922911 McSummation : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18922911 Tue, 21 Aug 2007 22:26:29 EDT how much teeth do you think the DMCA really has? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18922493 Kearnstd : atleast if pitted against true fair use. basicly i mean if the MPAA where to go against someone making copies of DVDs for conversion to Divx but for self use only(such as a laptop for plane trips). could they have a chance to win.
(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).
