I go to the store and buy a DVD movie. I do not have a DVD player but a computer. So I can't watch the movie without libdvdcss In the states that would be considered illegal even though I did not rip or reproduce in any way. On the note of ripping..... playing a dvd from the DVD deck in my computer means the motor of the dvd recorder reader will run constant for 2 hours plus. These motors can't take that kind of stress for very long. So the best option is to rip it and place it on a Hard drive which is more suited for long extended motor usage. By doing that I have broken the law and could be prosecuted. Even though I own the original. When I buy a game it's a given that the game will be placed on a HD and yet the very same copyright laws are broken as soon as I backup the cd or dvd game on HD What a confusing situation. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
