I can’t rip and back up my OWN DVDs??? Excuse me? What next? No backing up my CDs? No way. I have kids. I want to back up!!!
Anyway… check it out.
This is like the fool record industries going “WHINE” and keeping music off popular tv show dvds holding up dvd release. Can we say /smack I’m sorry you make HOW much??? Ooooh pooooor Ben Afleck. Ooooooh you poor darling… you can’t afford groceries now can you? WAAAAAH… Whatever.

Yeah. They seem to forget that we are legally allowed to make a copy for ourselves. Of course, they might not be legally required to let us. However, there are usually ways around such.
Even more annoying are the CDs that can only be played in one thing – the first thing you play them in. It can then be a hassle to try to get them into something else.
I have a few CDs that claim to be copy protected. Haven’t tried to find a way to rip mp3’s off them (my computer has no room for such at the moment). They did give my friend’s computer hell (he has a much newer system) when I brought them over for him to listen to. Took awhile to get them to play. He was using something funky though…
Oh – going to Marcon this year? π
