I tried to leave the topic alone and said I wasn't going to comment on it further, but right after that you continued. And saying I don't know what I am talking about is saying something negative. Please stop responding to this post and let it die off. I am getting tired of all of the extra messages that I am recieving.

By the way, many of the people developing these roms have asked for donations for their coffee fund.

Like I said, when I get home, Im taking it down. So was it necessary to do all that.

So you made me have to call my brother and fix it. You really seem immature to take this point.

Everybody thank Sitlet for the removal of the Video section. He seems to be a big loser who has nothing to do than to pick fights with kids. By the way, why isn't he at work, its the middle of the day.

Now my goal is to find where I can find videos hosted it legit spots and link to them just so I can stick it to him.

You said that less than an hour ago, so yes, it was necessary until you told me you were taking it down.

I didn't make you do anything. You seem immature for blaming me for your problems.

Again, blame it on me that you were illegally hosting videos.

Like a lot of people, I have a big boy job where I work nights.

BTW, you do know you can edit posts, instead of posting 4 posts in a row within 5 minutes of each other, just to get your post count up.
 
No, I didnt know I could edit my posts. And no it wasnt necessary for you to take those steps. But since you don't criticize the developers of the roms who include the google apps and ask for people to donate to their coffee fund, you are a hypocrite.

Again, to protect to people that put their lives into making those shows, and to protect the integrity of this site, yes I did.

I never said I agreed with that. The difference that you dont understand, is those people dont come on all the forums bragging about their illegal activity.

you are a hypocrite.

I think you need to look in the dictionary, because I am not a hypocrite. Maybe if you were in school learning, you would realize what that actually means. Speaking of that, if you really are 14, why aren't you in school?
 
By the way it is not legal to rip DVD's that you own. I have found the evidence to back this up. Can you legally copy DVDs? - CNET Reviews ....it is still illegal to break the technology that protects the dvd from being copied.

I'm not bragging. I'm a 14 year old kid who is surprised it did as good as it did.

You ever heard of summer break? Don't go back to school until after Labor day.

Thats from 2004. Here is a more recent article:

Is It Legal to Copy a DVD? - US News and World Report

Pay attention to the heading "So it's illegal to copy a DVD"

Here is another one from this year, explaining Fair Use:

http://ezinearticles.com/?DVD-Burning---Can-I-Legally?&id=4274245
 
quote from your own article

"Evading or breaking the encryption of a commercially produced DVD is illegal." DVD Burning - Can I Legally?

another quote from your other article

"Congress, meanwhile, passed a law that made it illegal to produce or distribute tools that enable consumers to circumvent copy protection." Is It Legal to Copy a DVD? - US News and World Report

I think you need to read through your sources a little better. They backed up my statement that breaking the encryption is still illegal.

Yes, evading the encryption is illegal. but the methods I use dont break the encryption, therefore it is completely legal.

"Congress, meanwhile, passed a law that made it illegal to produce or distribute tools that enable consumers to circumvent copy protection."

Again, yes, I understand the laws. It is illegal to make or distribute software that breaks the copy protection. But again, the way I backup dvd's doesnt break the copy protection, and I dont use any of those illegal software.
 
takeyouriphoneandshoveit said:
Then explain how you can copy a movie without breaking the encryption.
Click to expand...

if you just do a straight copy, with a duplicator or by doing an iso read/iso write on your computer, you keep the copy protection, therefore making it legal. To rip to your computer, you can use a digital server, or again make an iso read of the disc, both still keep copy protection.
 
But wouldn't copying the encryption be a copyright violation by itself? I do agree that you should be able to copy your own movies, but the entertainment industry for whatever reason refuses to adapt to the technological changes. Their refusal to adapt hurts them more than anything. If they adapted and were the leaders in the technological changes, not as many people would go other routes.

Back to the statement about the encryption, it seems that to be able to copy your movies legally, you must break a totally separate copyright.

Again, there is nothing in the dmca that says you cant copy the copy protection. If anything, it's encouraged to keep the copy protection with the dvd.

Again, I showed you many ways how to do it legally. I work for a TV production company, I do this every day.
 
Like I've said before, I'm a huge Hulu fan, but their refusal to adapt to the technology, they are only hurting themselves. Android users are tired of waiting for them to come around to us. I believe that they should offer a limited version for free, and a premium version that you have to pay for. By only going with a pay version, they are preventing kids from being able to use their services. Kids are a big market for this type of service.

If you work for a production company, please advocate for them to come around to the technological changes. People want these products, and their refusal to adapt is only going to hurt themselves and the people who work in the industry.

You still didn't answer the question. Is the encryption software copyrighted, and is that a totally separate copyright that does not necessarily deal with dvds.

forget the dmca, wouldn't copying the encryption be violating another copyright that is not included in the dmca

I completely agree. But that does not give you the right to go and illegally obtain and stream these shows by yourself. I think Ford should offer a mustang for 10 thousand dollars. If they dont do it, it doesnt give me the right to steal one.

That's not my job. Start a petition or write a letter to your congressmen if you want. And again, there are plenty of sites out there that will allow you to stream tv shows for a fee. You arent going to find any legal site that streams them for free.

Is the encryption software copyrighted
Click to expand...
I have answered it, no it is not copyrighted, just the content on the disc. And it's not software, its a key based encryption algorithm.

forget the dmca, wouldn't copying the encryption be violating another copyright that is not included in the dmca
Click to expand...
This is the third time I've explained this: NO, copying the encryption is NOT ILLEGAL. Copying the encryption, and putting it on your own disc, or a disc that it wasnt designated for IS illegal. But as long as you keep it on the disc you are copying, that is completely legal.

And PLEASE, STOP posting three separate responses. Use the edit function, that is one of the rules on this forum that you are breaking, just to get your post count up. If your brain can't spit out the responses quick enough, then use the edit function when you think of a new one.
