Yes, i gess

You need to have the original (VHS or DVD), and you shouldn't make movie downloads (or buy them), thats illegal too.

It probably is illegal under current law, though I'm not sure anyone has tested this. The concept of protecting your investment is a bulwark of a free, capitalist society - our economy would go down the toilet permanently without legal means of protecting one's assets and investments - so I cannot see any law interfering with that withstanding any significant legal test.

But, of course, if you got caught, you might have to be the one paying to argue that before a court of law in order for the precedent to be settled.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Put simply, you need to own whatever you wanna mess about with for your own pleasure... is that right?

Copying something you don't own, for yourself/personal use is illegal

Showing something you own, for none personal use, is illegal!

Everything is illegal!
