article published on 11 August, 2006
It seems like the movie studios have given up on internet piracy and decided to allow all people to copy to their hearts content without any ill effects. Well no, thats not the case, but in a revelation, it appears they just may be taking a step in a direction to meet the demands of consumers in a more convenient way.
It seems that DVD Copy Control Association, makers of CSS encryption ... [ read the full article ]

well if they dump the heavy protection on the new releases ,maybe they could lower the price on them. 20 bucks is crazy . selling them for 10 would def increase sales.

they wouldn't do that because if there was no protection at all people wouldn't even have to burn them on their computer with programs to take off the protection they could just use regualar dvd recorders and a lot more poeple would be copying movies then.

The problem is that DRM makes it impossible or nearly impossible to excercise the very right you are talking about.

i dont understand why you all are complaining about copy protection(excluding DRM). Is there one single movie out there on DVD that we have not been able to copy? not to my knowledge there is not. yes it is a pain in the ass sometimes, but we still manage to copy the movies. the same applies to software and music. they are not always perfect copies, but the important parts of the discs are usable, IE games with no internet abilities and DVDs without menus. the way i see it these companies that dedicate the millions of dollars are just slowing the process down, not eliminating it.

Here in mexico the movie companies are making a better job right now,selling movies 2-3 year old at very low prices (3-4 dollars)that`s i think a better way to fight piracy.

True - but under the Digital millineum copyright act - DMCA you are allowed to back up your own movies games et:al ect... provided it is does not have to be decrypted !!! example- macrovision /copyguard -sony arcos protection ect.. If you need decrypt the movie or game to copy it technically atleast you are breaking the law. in the act of decryption!!! Though I agree with the fair use doctrine you mention I thought you might be intersted in the DMCA ruling .. good luck & happy burning friend!!

Just because it can be circumvented doesn't mean that it is right or ok or should be allowed to be without any noise created about it.
The fact that it is only a pain in the butt does not change the fact that it is meant as a control technique in many instances (fairplay, region coding etc) and in other instances as a way to insure that our fair rights our removed and therefore to protect our legally purchased copies is impossible UNLESS one disregards current law (DMCA) and circumvents it... which makes you a criminal!
That would be like saying that to insure their profits Ford installed a special gas gap that can only accept either a FOrd approved nozzle or one from a gas can. Sure you CAN get around it (by filling up a gas can at whatever gas station you want to first and then filling up your car from the can) but should you have to? And should you be made a CRIMINAL if you do?

Just remember - "If man can make it, man can break it." So let them bring on all the protection they want. Somebody, somewhere will find a way around it.

I have a question for everyone. why is it now that copying movies an issue? when VHS was the only form of home videos there was no issue. at least not one that anyone took interest in. the same goes for cassette tapes. now that CDs and DVDs are mainstream, it is "such an issue" because it is readily available via the Internet.
The country is run by lobbyists that don't want there profits infringed upon. Why else is it that water powered engines are not used? (and yes there are water powered car engines that do work) because the oil companies would not be able to suck the earth dry of crude oil. i don't know how oil drilling practices work, but who do they by the oil that is in the earth from? god? Also alcohol sales and production is not an issue because it makes the liquor companies millions. it kills more people everyday whether its from drunk drivers or liver failure. same for cigarettes. it is all about the $$$. bottom line is the USA is run by corporate America, and it will not change until the people unite as a whole, and force change upon the government and the corporations of America.

your right. women shouldnt have a choice. the babies should be born no matter what, that way we can make sure they dont have health care, proper education, and will probably be snatched from their homes by over zealous CPS workers (provided that the child looks "cute" and has a chance of being adopted because of its "cuteness").
heres an idea, fix what you're govmnt. is doing to kids that are STARVING, SICK and have no future save as a Wal-Mart greeter, then we'll talk about getting rid of planned parenthood.

i have to agree with you because it is better to have unwanted babies who end up being neglected and/or abused whether it be physical, emotionally and/or sexually. that and having babies who are literally thrown in the trash because the mothers who don't give a crap don't want the child, also we need more mothers on welfare because the fathers who can't/don't take responsibility for their children. i enjoy seeing my tax dollars going to pay for said welfare. All the women who get raped need to be reminded of the horrible experience they have gone thru on a daily basis.
why we are at it, let's take away womens right to vote, after all they need to be at home taking care of their unwanted children, they don't need to be bothered with silly things like political issues and the like. Since they are staying at home, they can't work, so why do they need a social security number?
obviously there is going to be an overpopulation of children, so why not put them to work? it would give the economy a boost wouldn't it? after all the kids would be able to spend their money on toys, helping support the industries that cater to children. i could continue but why bother?
i almost forgot, we need more children to use in the Wal-Mart adds. so the overpopulation of children is an awsome idea. the general public likes variety. with the abundance of children, the modeling agencies would not have a problem picking them out at the adoption agencies.

nice, very well put. jesus voted republican because, as we all know, smaller government was much more important to him than caring for the poor and weak among us.
