Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7693 Registered: Jun-04 | This is where I believe the answer is no it isnt legal... circumventing copy protection... but from what im reading so far making back up copies of your original music cd's is legal Fair use clauses in current copywrite laws dictate that it is legal to make a copy of any media you have legally purchased and own for backup purposes. You can't distribute the copies or share them, but you can make a backup copy for yourself, to be used if the original is damaged. Catch-22 -- a federal judge ruled that it is illegal to circumvent copy protection on digital media. So it is legal to copy a DVD you own, unless you're circumventing copy protection to do so. Most manufacturers are including copy protection these days, making it impossible for people to exercise their rights granted under the fair use clauses of copywrite law. |

However, burning a copy of CD onto a CD-R, or transferring a copy onto your computer hard drive or your portable music player, won't usually raise concerns so long as: o The copy is made from an authorized original CD that you legitimately own o The copy is just for your personal use. It's not a personal use -- in fact, it's illegal -- to give away the copy or lend it to others for copying. * The owners of copyrighted music have the right to use protection technology to allow or prevent copying. * Remember, it's never okay to sell or make commercial use of a copy that you make. Are there occasionally exceptions to these rules? Sure. A "garage" or unsigned band might want you to download its own music; but, bands that own their own music are free to make it available legally by licensing it. And, remember that there are lots of authorized sites where music can be downloaded for free. Better to be safe than sorry -- don't assume that downloading or burning is legal just because technology makes it easy to do so. Enjoy the music. By doing the right thing, you'll be doing your part to make sure that the music keeps coming. This site is intended to educate consumers about the issues associated with the downloading, uploading and consumer copying of music. It is not intended to offer legal advice or be a comprehensive guide to copyright law and the commercial uses of music. |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 14610 Registered: Dec-03 | Too much hassle to copy and archive my media or make back up copies. Those who make back up copies have their own reasons for doing so, but for me...I only back up my data files. I find no reason making back up copies of movies and such. If I lose it and want it that bad, I'll just buy another one. Or even better, rent it. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 12878 Registered: Jun-06 | Yup. Storage is getting so cheap anymore. We are moving into the digital world now. Tape is dead. Vinyl is for the connoisseur. How long before do you think a terabyte of storage will be $10? 5 years? 3? 6 months? |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 14613 Registered: Dec-03 | I am hoping 6 months... But probably more like 5. I just saw a Western Digital Mybook 1TB for $275.00 |

Gold Member Username: Hawaiian_timeKanaka freak... Post Number: 1753 Registered: Apr-06 | Yeah it would be like the government to say it's ok to copy music as long as it's not protected, and then have all the labels protect their recordings! All that money paid for lobbyists was worth it! |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7709 Registered: Jun-04 | you no what i dont get is if its illegal to circumvent encryption then why do companies sell software designed to copy around it |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7711 Registered: Jun-04 | http://www.smarthouse.com.au/Home_Cinema/DVD/E8X5X5R9 LOL this is good...they kept the encryption on 30/03/2007 "The DVD CCA filed the suit after Kaleidescape marketed a video server that uses an elaborate system to transfer DVDs encrypted with the Content Scramble System (CSS) onto its hard disk drives." |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7712 Registered: Jun-04 | http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/10267.cfm News Legal movie downloading gets a huge boost 4 July 2007 15:10 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 20 comments Legal movie downloading gets a huge boost After months of false starts, DVD burning and legal movie downloading got a huge boost this week when the DVD Copy Control Association (DVD-CCA) approved a final amendment that will allow movie downloading services and DVD kiosk companies to offer on-demand disc burning using CSS-encrypted copy protection. The amendment should be finalized by the end of the week at which point the changes will become effective. Then, movie download service will be able to offer movies that can be downloaded and burnt to physical DVDs as well as played on standalone players. The move should be a huge boost for movie download services due to the added appeal of being able to own the DVD after you download it. "CSS is that line in the sand," TitleMatch chief technology officer Aaron Knoll said last week during the Entertainment Supply Chain Academy conference in Los Angeles. "Once there is the ability to legally replicate CSS [on such discs], we expect the coffers to open up." The first hurdle in the process was getting Panasonic, which is one of a few companies that controls the master license to CSS, to agree with the move. Panasonic declined to accept the amendment when it was first tried in April. Now, with the new licenses, retailers will be able to go to software companies such as Sonic for programs that will provide CSS-encrypted burning. "Up to 50% of retail purchasers can't find the title that they want to buy, because it's not in stock," said Jim Taylor, senior VP and general manager of the advanced technology group at Sonic Solutions. "There is a huge untapped demand that can't be met because of shelf space limitations". Sonic also said it has had a software package developed that would allow burning using CSS, but distribution was riding on the approval of the amendment. There is however, like always, a catch. According to Video Business, consumers will need to buy a new DVD writer as well as a specific (probably new) type of DVD-R disc. More updates as they become available. Source: CNN |
