| Re: Hurry! You are right! I traced the problem down to the Distributed Computing Clients I run for Team Discovery TSC. I am running two instances, one for each processor. They take up quite a bit of the processing power. When I stop the task engines, I can then get to the site without a problem. When I start the task engines again and then navigate to the site, IE encounters a error and closes. How odd! I haven't had that problem with any other site. Hmmm . . . that's very interesting.

You are kidding, right?
You can make as many copies of your own work using a variety of DVD copy programs incorporated into commercial/freeware burning programs.
If you choose to add CSS, Macrovision and/or RCE then you do have a problem, but there are legal programs that would allow you to do that as well. | |

| Re: As an author, I'm screwed!?! It's amazing that even the judges themselves don't
know the law these days.
Sadly that's a trend that seems to get worse daily as the
world continues to hear a great sucking sound of more
IQ points being lost each and every day.
It is perfectly LEGAL to copy any and all copyrighted
material AND THAT INCLUDES COPY PROTECTED DVDs provided that
such a backup is STRICTLY for archival purposes only should
your original copy become damaged, that you do indeed
hold a license (IE: legitimate original) of what you are
copying, and you do not distribute the backup made to
any third party.
If ALL of those conditions listed above are all met,
then the copying is indeed perfectly legal despite
what these idiot moron judges say mainly out of
pure ignorance. Don't believe me? Go look it up!
I've got news for the judge in this case ... bypassing
copy protection or encryption mechanisms in place is
actually perfectly legal and the judge is completely
in error and not ruling with the law. You may not
realize this but the DVD manufacturers using
copy protection on their DVDs itself is actually
technically illegal according to the laws currently
on the books. I'm talking about the actual laws,
not the case law.
What is actually in question of legality is WHAT IS
ACTUALLY DONE WITH THOSE COPIES that are made?
Copying a copyrighted DVD and give it to your
brother or a friend ... THAT IS ILLEGAL.
Copying a copyrighted DVD for which you purchased
the original so you can upload to P2P networks ...
THAT IS ILLEGAL.
Copying a copyrighted DVD for which you purchased
the original so you can sell the original and
keep the copy for yourself .... THAT IS ILLEGAL.
Copying a copyrighted DVD for your own personal use
to which you have purchased the original ....
THAT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL. | |

| Re: As an author, I'm screwed!?! The owner of a disc bypassing copy protection is legal. Creating and selling a program that does that is not legal. That is what the judge ruled illegal. He never said an individual could not copy the DVD, just the company could not sell them the product to do that.
Nice rant on the right to make a backup copy, but that has nothing to do with why the "idiot moron" judge ruled against DVDxcopy. | |

| In case anyone remembers :
When the MP3 sharing business first started, the RIAA came out with the line 'any copying of Compact Discs that contain copyrighted material is illegal' no matter what [ you can't make a copy. period. It came out in court [for a different matter, I don't remember what] that archival copies are legal and the judge didn't buy that, he said more copies were made for the purpose of pirating than archiving. The case got thrown out on a technicality and the issue became small potatoes compared to P2P file sharing, so it died out.
That's one of the big things about the DMCA - it practically does away with 'fair use'. And I've heard it before that copyright protection actually violates the fair use laws - each time, the big companies (RIAA, MPAA, Movie Studios) makes a big cry 'Piracy", 'lost revenues', 'hurts the economy' and others and since they have a practically unlimited budget, they drown out the little guy (The consumer - US). Until someone with Really deep pocket goes against them, I don't see anything changing, unfortunately. In theory, everyone is equal under the law, but the more money you have, the more equal you are  | |

| Karma Well ever since 321 Studios introduced DVD Copy Plus ....
quote:
As you may know, DVDXCopy was the first commercial tool to split commercial DVD-9s to two DVD±Rs. It was initially pretty buggy but the company behind it eventually hired the author of IfoEdit to improve it - which has effectively killed of any further IfoEdit development. That, and the fact that the company is selling a package of freeware tools and a guide to create (S)VCDs has not earned them many friends so many people have avoided using DVDXCopy
Source: Doom9
Basically you can get DVDFab to split up a DVD-9 to 2 DVD-5's and the communtiy gets Derrow back. No loss at all IMHO.
DVDxCopy was nothing special to begin with and there are many less costly/freeware packages that enable you to make archival copies of DVDs you own. | |

| And the judge had to side with the DMCA ...and not the Fair Use Provision of Title 17 which clearly permits duplication for archival purposes. So because criminals can use the software to make illegal copies those who legally used the software can no longer do so.
What's next. Banning cars cause crooks use them for getaway cars? Banning guns cause they're used for crimes? How about banning alcohol 'cause of the crime that occasionally results from it?
Simply, the judge could have struck down the DMCA in favor of Title 17 which has been around quite a bit longer.
