• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Bit of an iTunes AppTV question

I filled my Apple TV and I can't sync it with my laptop cos it's still synced with an old laptop I don't have any more. If I pair it with my new laptop it will wipe the movies I have bought from iTunes from it.

My question then is, will I be able to go back to iTunes and re download the movies I have already purchased without having to pay again.

The movies are tied to a particular iTunes ACCOUNT, not a computer. It was dumb of you not to deactivate the iTunes account before getting rid of the computer, but if you're using the same account now it shouldn't make a difference.

But no, you can't re-download movies you purchased from iTunes.
