What fools some of you are. You claim you can make a back up copy of your movies and it's OK.
Not really. (Even though I might do it myself)
If I'm being completely objective it's only because the movies are a bunch of ones and zeroes that you/I see it that way. You tell yourself that everyones a winner as you have your discs and the industry have made their sale. Remember, we all know the restrictions, BEFORE we buy and watch the discs and thereby AGREE to the terms that go with it. You might buy a car but somehow I don't see you making a copy of it just in case the worst happens.
What the DVD manufacturers should do is first sell their wares at a reasonable price and then on top of that offer a license to copy for personal backup, again at a reasonable rate. That way some of the money that they spend on preventing copying or protecting their intellectual rights need not be spent.
That said, as with others. If I can, I will.
