Burning copies of protected DVD's - on an iMac

[Long duc dong]

Forgot about this thread. The hypocracy in this place fucking amazes me sometimes. Yes, I bet everyone makes copies of movies "as back ups."
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Yes, I would love to be able to do that. If I had I would still have Yearbook. I cannot speak for everyone else but my reasons are completely legitimate. Once you buy music/movies once, you should never have to buy them again.

Oh wait, nevermind, I forgot that video and music piracy are "sticking it to the man," so that's OK.
My bad guys, I was wrong.

Go cry on www.thepiratebay.com

I'm sure they'll appreciate the argument.

It's hypocrisy you retard. There isn't much, more hypocritical than you with an avatar that is infringing on the University of Arizona's copyright ranting about other IP thieves.

I gasp pay to download movies. I'd even pay to purchase them in a digital only format when the titles i want become available that way, because I don't like dragging around DVDs.

I find this logic interesting. So if anything you buy; car, washing machine, book, CD, DVD, vinyl record, et cetera, wear out you should get a new one?

I copy tapes, CDs and DVDs, so I am not preaching or accusing, just making an observation.

I'd be happy with being able to get a replacement anything at cost of manufacturing.

Guess I have some reading to do.

You probably think GNU and Open Source are the same thing too right?
Uh...more reading I guess

Agreed. A hardware dongle malfunction cost my business thousands of dollars before we were able to figure out what was up.

I also am not guilt free here for I have a ton of music whose source is rather grey.

I was given a gift of a sixty gigabyte hard disk with mostly rare classical and jazz music. I know a lot of it was downloaded peer to peer. I am enjoying some nice flaminco music from it right now.

Just thought I'd throw a little thought into the topic since the threads on photography has had me rethink some of my views on such issues.

"If you want to argue IP vs Fair Use then make a new thread YOU STUPID FUCKING JONG."As obvious by my handeling of the quotes function I am to much of a STUPID FUCKING JONG to know how to start a thread.

The law dosen't care whether it was "given" to you or not.
If you can't provide proof of purchase or a license as it were, then you lose.

If you must know, the reason I was asking was so that I could burn copies of movies to keep in the vehicle so that we can use them in our DVD player on road trips. All I wanted to know was if it were possible or not. Sheesh.

dvdshrink here too... it hasn't been updated in a while afaik, so where it fails against the protection that assclowns also waiting for dibs on your firstborns put on the dvds there's AnyDVD.

Not so sure about that. Being in possesion of stolen property is not in itself proof of theft. The burden of proof would still rest on the prosecution

No license = proof.
You can't walk into court and say "OH I LOST THEM BUT I OWN THEM I PROMISE JUDGE".

so... I buy some cds and download them to my ipod and it is my legal responsibility to keep the receipts? Sounds pretty weak to me.

Same thing with audits.
I dealt with one large scale audit at a university I worked at.
We ended up throwing a lot of hardware & software away.

Better to trash it than get held responsible for it.

[ripitoff]

Interesting. You threw away hardware because you didn't have proof of ownership? How did you originally obtain it? Or was it expensed instead of depreciated?

I do recognize purchase proof needed for businesses, but this is primarily to prove a business expense pre tax dollars.

I also understand software licensing...but I still think lack of proof of ownership of music would not be a problem.
