There is plenty of software out there that allows DVD copying and plenty more for CD copying. If you own Nero Version 6 then DVD shrink works great.

I think that the movie industry and the court are in bed together so to speak. Also that the movie industry won the lawsuit because it just has more money. They must feel real happy about putting most of the people at 321 out of a job. Just because they past this law and broke 321 makes me want to go and copy any movie for anyone I know for free. I think alot of people probably feel the same.

If the studios or game manufacturers want to eliminate the need for consumers to backup their software or movies then the Film and Game industry has to make it possible, at no charge, for a customer to send in (at no charge) their damaged or unreadable disks for REPLACEMENT, also at no charge. If the manufacturers took this solution then there would be no need to make backups. Since the media from which a disk is manufactured from is very easily scratched and damaged, by adults as well as children, the movie and game industry can’t have it’s cake and eat it also. I personally am sure that the entertainment industry would not go for this because the cost would be prohibitive, so the only ligitimate avenue for the consumer is to make legal backups. Yes, there are alway going to be those that abuse any system, but I don’t see any of these companies losing money, just some additional profits, and that’s the price they have to pay for FREEDOM to backup.

I bet if everyone stopped buying DVD’s because of crap like this they would change their tune real fast. But that would be like asking us to stop using air. The fact is they win and we loose. A sad fact of life. Money talks.

Tell Jack(ass) to go to hell. We will not stand for his type of greed. It is time to stuff these jerks back in the holes they came from. These are the type of people who would take all of our rights away if they could.

I feel if i buy a dvd and want to make a copy i should be able to do so. They don’t complain when i go out and pay what ever there dvd coast. They just want to complain because if the dvd gets damaged they want me to go buy another one. thats fine with them because it is more money in their pocket. It is just greed with the big company’s who make there own prices to begin with.

if what jack says is the president, then they are selling us the media (the DVD itself) and not the contained movie. that makes the argument that it cant be traded, ripped, borrowed, downloaded, and uploaded – completely mute. what are you selling us? the dvd, or the movie.

Jack Valenti, head of the Motion Picture Association of America, has suggested that consumers have no legitimate need for such software(DVDXCOPY). He told The Associated Press in November “If you buy a DVD you have a copy. If you want a backup copy you buy another one.”
