Kash Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Backing up DVDs is an interesting conundrum. On the one hand, you have fair use that allows you to make backups of the movie for personal use. On the other hand, the DMCA makes breaking the DVD's CSS encryption illegal. So essentially, you have to commit an illegal act in order to exercise your legal rights. Deliciously evil, if I may say so myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight Game Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 good movie bad movie, don't matter. download copyrighted material and you're subjecting yourself to a potential lawsuit. even people in a 3rd world country probably know this by now, nobody should be surprised. edit: but with that said, I wonder....what if the op owned a legal copy of the movie, but wanted to torrent a copy for backup? Kinda like how it's not illegal to torrent a copy of windows as long as the person has their own legit copy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
