Re: Yeah fair trial, evidence, due process....
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! |
