so is copying audio from a cd or the radio, photocopying pages from a published book for exams etc. etc. etc.

anyway..
i think everyone pretty much uses FlaskMPEG these days.. its bloody excellent and has enough options to keep most people happy

no its not illegal if you own the original and the copy is for back up purposes.
applies to all media formats as far as im aware

Lenny

I know about the back up purpose
but I just thought that backing up DVD was illegal
becase the man and his son who cracked the DVD code were imprisiment for cracking the code.

whats photocopying a book got to do with ripping a dvd ?
and who/what is 'Pedantics' ?

Yossarian

Its to do with an American Law called the DMCA. Which says any device used to circumvent a copy protection encryption is ilegal. Even if its for Fair use purposes such as back up. Ultimetley it boils down to the RIAA and MPAA(?) dictating how, where and when you listen/watch the DVD's you have bought.
But DeCSS was written by someone in Norway..
