I've heard that a lot of people are copying rented movies from Netflix. I personally own a large collection of store-bought DVDs, and wouldn't dream of copying rentals. Does the industry plan to do something to prevent people from doing this? Is there anyway that Netflix can tell if a rented DVD has been copied? I'm a newbie to all of this.

Nobody here copies rented movies, although we all backup our purchased DVDs.

Yes I really hope they can do something about anyone copying rental movies.
I won't be able to sleep at the thought of some poor actress/actor have to take a wage cut, due to those inconsiderate people, and have to work for $20 million, instead of $30 million a film.
maybe we could all sign a petition.
I'd go first

That is crazy we don't hang with those crooks here we "only" back up our own store bought movies.

I believe that what you are really asking is if there is anyway Netflix can tell if you copied one of their movies that you rented. Since you are not suggesting that this is being done but merely asking a question the answer is no, there is no way anyone could tell if a DVD has be copied.

No, it's because you haven't contributed to anything useful, like me.
I'm just joking, yes, I believe it the number of posts. I joined in 2003, but I was a lurker, and never posted anything useful till 2005.

That's why there's copy protection on discs - they don;t discriminate :) Unfortunately the 'industry' doesn't want anyone backing up dvd's even bought and paid discs. In alot of countries it's a no no. They would rather have you buy it again if something happened to it.

RIAA et al. says CD ripping, backups not fair use
2/15/2006 3:17:17 PM, by Ken "Caesar" Fisher
If anyone has any doubts about the content industry's resolve to destroy fair use and usher in new ways of charging you for uses that were previously both free and fair, look no further. As part of the triennial review of the effectiveness of the DMCA, a number of content-related industries have filed a joint reply (PDF)
http://www.copyright.gov/1201/2006/reply/11metalitz_AAP.pdf
with the government on the effectiveness of the DMCA and the challenges that lay ahead for copyright. As you might expect, the document is a celebration of the DMCA, and the industries are pushing for even more egregious abuses of technology to fatten up their bottom lines.

I've actually seen a special "rental" version of a DVD rented from Netflix. It cleary said in the menues "rental".
One has to wonder though... would it be illegal to rip and then burn to a rewritable DVD for the purpose of removing the damn Macrovision and UOP's from a rental?

@ThePastor
I would think any copying of a rental - no matter what the reason - would be illegal.

copying rental movies are illegal.period
this is a rule on the afterdawn/dvdxcopy site
Most places(states or countries) allow you to have 1 backup of every original you own.
So unless this is a copy of a home movie,or something of that nature,copying a copy is illegal or a rental movie,and not allowed to be discussed on this forum.
