i keep thinking that the MPAA and the RIAA is the new face to the mafia. with their new front, they have a much large clientele base (average consumers, artists, actors, etc.), but now they can intimidate, extort, and sue anyone they please. even better for them is now they can freely use lobbyists to push their ideology onto the government and slip things into bills with ease with the hope that no one notices. |

if the MPAA and RIAA have their way, buying a DVD and then making a copy for the DVD player in your minivan so original doesnt get damaged would be illegal.

Ummm.... it IS illegal if it's a copy protected disk. I've never seen such a mess. Remember when you could actually back up your music and movies, record TV shows and keep 'em on tape... ah the good old days. Now, they SAY you can make a back up for personal us, but you can't break any kind of encryption or other copy protection. Gimme a break. Now you can't even use your favorite song as a ringtone unless you BUY it SPECIFICALLY for that purpose! |
