well there you go,NZ law states no copies of anything in anyform of copyrighted material,your music is as illegal as someone with pirated games,You are a criminal.

As to photo's,are you saying you have never grabbed a photo or picture of anything off the net?....which are all considered copyrighted unless stated otherwise.

Hilarious when you consider the success of the iPod being sold in NZ, the numerous Minidisc players being bandied about, and the fact that Telecom encourages use of broadband for music files in their adverts.

Lo.

Agreed (more a problem with the DVD combo drive I think)

Disagree: I think Bruce has a lot better things to do with his time than
dobb someone in for making backup copies of his game cds, which are bought and paid for. Everyone makes backup copies of there $100 + game cds, don't they!!
Malvado's choice of words was not good though.
And I agree with you metla, we are not the software police here!

Read next time, I own the original disks. Pirated means that you don't legally hold a legal copy. There is a difference between pirate and backups. I never knew it was illegal to download from MS facilities consisting of "free to download" clipart files.... Instead of wasting time on picking things people say, you may 'wnat to check you own post'...

End of conversation .

258048 2004-08-04 12:27:00 oh we're all hypocrites in the end. I mean Sony go on about not copying music or changing format or anything, but they support minidisk conversion format. I'm confused ;)

258049 2004-08-04 12:29:00 There's a big difference in my books between disc's Ive backed up and Pirated Warez you can get off the net or off a mate.

That detail is the difference I advised against disclosing.....

258050 2004-08-04 12:34:00 read next time?

lmao.

Owning the original disk does not give you the right to make a backup,under NZ law your copies are ilegal,hence your a criminal ,get it?The exact same point i made in my last post.

Lawbreaker.

and as to my second point,i said pictures are presumed copywrited unless stated otherwise.....and "free to download" clip art is obvoisly stating otherwise and legal.

so...wtf are you on about i should read what you say?, Perhaps you need to not only read but take a second to comprehend what you are told by someone who can run rings around you on a cold day of the week.

258051 2004-08-04 12:40:00 Ladies and Gentlemen, lets stick to the rules (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz).

You all should know by now the legalities of backing up and copying software/music.

So Im locking this before it gets too nasty!
