No, because you have already paid a kickback to the xxAA's to own the device and the media to use in it. That is why it costs so much to get your paws on the materials - there is a "tax" already charged on it that goes straight to these folks for the contingency that maybe, just maybe that the drives and media were to be used to pirate and pilfer at their perceived bottom lines.
Since we already paid many times over for the *possible* misuse of blank media and their respective drive technologies, rip and burn away I say. Rip and burn away...
You would be surprised just how amazingly CHEAP drives and media are when you take away the RIAA/MPAA kickback. -- The RIAA killed my legal webcast. Sadly it will never be mourned... |
