DVD copying

[Macman]

I'm having problems doing just that. I wonder if it's because the original is DVD+R ?

if you're trying to copy a burned dvd, that may be a problem, though it really shouldn't be any problem. what sort of problem are you having?

what about time shifting? and copying of purchased dvds for my niece and nephews?

Copying of DVD's takes away potential profit from the dvd labels which makes it illegal. Morally there isn't anything really wrong but it is illegal in a civil way.

[font=verdana, lucida, arial, helvetica]You are allowed to make copies for yourself, for your home, for your office. The Fair Use Act is going by the premise that you can't be 3 places at once...so while you have 5 physical copies, you can only be listening or utilizing the rights of one at a time.

But you may not copy CD's or movies for your friends to keep under the law. There is no even remote interpretation of the actual verbage of the law that provides for that. [/font]

It is a burned DVD. I tried Toast 6 and got an error code 50.

Why exactly do you need to take Simpsons DVDs to school with you?*amused*

Um...It's the simpsons. duh. hahaha. I love the simpsons. I think of myself as a "SUPER FAN". However, my roommate likes to leave our dorm room door/unlocked. I can lock down/away my important stuff, but the simpsons dvds are easier to just keep the copies out. People don't like taking my copies, when they can take the real thing a few doors down...see? I'm a thinker.

Though no one takes stuff anymore, 'cause I know everyone...but I like my copies none-the-less.

You are just bitter. They are doing a job that they are good at and it is profitable. We have no right to steal profits from them

You guys should really watch out if you copy a dvd (even for personal use) it is illegal. They are really starting to crack down on people who copy dvds.

(even for personal use) it is illegal.

Personal Use is legal. You can copy your own dvd's for backup purposes or to keep dvd's in separate locations (Fair Use Act allows you to have one in separate locations assuming that you can't being using them both at once).
