maquiavelli Member 90 Posts 4/05	Posted - May 13 2005 : 3:46AM what are CSS protected mainstream movies? and how do you find out if such movies have this kind of protection? I mean if I go to out there and buy a DVD movie, can I later on burn a copy with a DVD-RW? [Link]

I mean if I go to out there and buy a DVD movie, can I later on burn a copy with a DVD-RW? Click to expand Nearly all mainstream films and a growing number of adult films are CSS copy protected. There are other copy protections out there but CSS is the most often used. I don't know about the USA. But in Germany its totally illegal even for home use. The usual software like Nero or CloneDVD doesn't copy protected discs. And software to crack CSS is illegal. [Link]

Click to expand Last year the copyright laws were changed due to massive pressure by the film and music industry. Now in Germany you are only allowed to back up your own DVDs if you don't have to crack a copy protection to make a back up. [Link]

Click to expand even if its copy protected? Click to expand Yes and no. Copyright wise, no problem. BUT, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act makes it a crime "to circumvent anti-piracy measures built into most commercial software." Digital Millennium Copyright Act highlights So, while the concept of "fair use" is long established, nothing says the copyright owner(s) need to make it easy to do. Making a "fair use" copy is legal... but defeating the copyright protection measures to do so is now a crime. Interestingly enough, this is the polar opposite thinking when compared to "head shops" and drugs. Selling bongs and roach clips was legal, yet their intended use (i.e. taking drugs) was against the law. [Link]
Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00	Posted - May 14 2005 : 5:59PM Once again, discussion of copying DVD's is not permitted at ADT. If you want to find information on this topic, I suggest searching the rest of the Internet for anwswers because they won't be found here. I'm locking this thread. [Link]
