• 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.

highlight the app (one click) then command+i or right click for info, your info window will come up....... about half way down you'll see locked or Ownership permissions, set as you prefer locked or unlocked...I'm no tech but I'd give that a shot, someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

It's unchecked, and still won't let me delete. I downloaded that Trash It thing too, but it asks me to locate the 2U4 or something installer....
