I thought so.
First sale doctrine, at least in the US, is what has allowed video rental services to exist.

Apparently the labels have somehow nullified that, and now ‘agreements’ must be made.

Fun hobby, keeps me busy. I also have a satellite subscription with movie channels and tivo- easies my conscience- since most anything I rip would have come over the sat at one point or another and tivo could have recorded it... Tivo sucks though... LinuxMCE kicks ass for working with a big media collection- it gets movie attributes from amazon automatically while riping dvd's, and allows very easy searching and filtered browsing for any attribute. Handbrake saves a ton of HD space w/o much quality loss. I do this with a blockbuster all access pass- ~25$ month two out at a time- <.50c movies if I go every day. Fun hobby, keeps me busy.
