except for the sh!tty copy protection.

:O dont you use an i-pod/mp3 player ? ...... ppl routinely rip music from such *copy protected* cds ...... its not illegal to rip music and create a back up/use it in ur mp3 player ..... its only illegal if u share that music with somebody else

Unfortunately its illegal to install games on more than certain no. of PCs and certain no. of times under sh!tty DRM without dialing a no. to CC.

And DRM media is not playable on other mp3 players.

I want a simple copy paste kind of thing. Why should I waste my time ripping (installing software etc) when I can just drag and drop it to my HDD ?

Any kind of copy protection is sh!tty IMO.

In your opinion it is illegal if I share my media with my family...

And who says ripping music is not illegal ?

i v worked in market research industry for abt 1.5 years and know a couple of facts.

since the sample consists of respondents from Norway only, the findings of the survey will be valid only for that country and those areas in Norway where the participants hailed from.
If you project (or weight it) towards other geographic areas it will be a biased survey.

just two facts. m not saying BI Norwegian School of Management said anyting of that sort.

lastly

In fact, among all 1,901 Norway-based study participants (all of whom were over the age of 15), it was found that those who downloaded "free" music were 10x more likely to download pay music

the word more likely also has its significance. anyone from market research industry or someone who has studied market research will be able to throw more light on this.

Nice try .... where does the article say ripping is illegal ?

The legality of ripping is controversial. It allows content to be losslessly copied for a very low or essentially zero cost. The copy (or the original) could theoretically be passed to someone who did not purchase it. If someone uses copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder (under conditions not covered by fair use), a copyright violation has occurred. What is unclear is exactly when the crime has occurred and if ripping itself was part of the criminal act. Ripping copyrighted material for personal use is clearly not a crime, however ripping it and passing it to others clearly is a crime (again, only in conditions not covered by fair use)

Next time try reading thru the articles that you quote or link too


and where have i said (in my opinion ? ) that sharing movies with your family is illegal

your family is not a 3rd party

Yes I have read that part also. You left out some other lines too like:

Recording industry representatives have claimed (in the context of Atlantic v. Howell) that ripping itself may be regarded as theft

In the United Kingdom, making a private copy of copyrighted media without the copyright owner's consent is illegal as of April 2009: this includes ripping music from a CD to a computer or digital music player.

And what do you think DRM is achieving for consumers ?

and where have i said (in my opinion ? ) that sharing movies with your family is illegal

your family is not a 3rd party

How do you define a family ? 4 persons in it or a family of over 20 persons. Tell me how do you decide who will share or who will not ?

 

[Phantom Lancer]

You are embarrassing your self

1) Claims are not facts ....... Ripping (for private use) is not illegal in most countries (least of all in India) ......
