Doubt it will make any real difference in the long run but I thought I should bring it to attention for those here who are interested. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061123/ap_on_hi_te/digital_copyright http://www.copyright.gov/1201/
Yes, although it may be a step in the right direction, I'm sure the **AA agencies will quickly lobby for legislation to neutralize the threat to themselves. It still beats me why it's illegal for people to rip legally purchased DVDs to play on their iPods - but you can't let the rights of the consumers stand in the way of potential profit ;-)
Because most people who say things like that are secretly harboring the desire to legally pirate any DVD. I reckon they should make it come up with a message box and ask you "Are you sure you are allowed to copy this DVD?". If the user clicks no then they are obviously a pirate so it would prevent you copying it. If they click yes then it would allow you to rip it. Of course the pirates would all have to agree to tell the truth. smf
When someone has done a wrong-doing, as in a breach of Contract, or Trust for example (especially in company law, where fiduciary duties of Directors are very important), the intentions of the parties at drafting and the defendant have to be valued and infered from the actions of the defendant etc
