Re: Good Price
said by karlmarx  :Because legally, you CAN'T rip the movie to your IPOD. Remember the DMCA, well the DVD is protected under that, and if you do rip the DVD, you are going to spend time with BUBBA in the big house! (where's taylor when we need him?) You are allowed to make a backup copy at least, who says the backup copy can't be on your iPod or other portable media device? I do get what you are saying though, neither Apple nor Wal-mart can support this officially since it just opens them up to more lawsuits thanks to the DMCA. It's a shame really, everyone will do it anyway on the black market so to speak which everyone could be cashing in on if they were smart. |
