| 1231140 | 2011-09-16 03:44:00 | I thought NZ just recently aligned with the US laws from some arm twisting by the MPAA and the RIAA? Wasn't there a post decrying that alliance, here on F1 just a short time ago? |

I think our laws are less permissive than the US ones :( A little while back we got format shifting music made legal and the recent change is purely related to prosecuting people for illegal downloading of copyrighted material, which was already illegal just harder to prosecute. As far as backing up your own personal copyrighted movies or software, or format shifting movies for other devices, I think that's still illegal here. With a music DVD It's probable that it's not considered the same as owning an audio CD where you are allowed to rip it to your portable player etc. It seems to take the law a while to catch up to these things. I notice a lot of Blu-Ray releases are now including a digital copy for use on PCs etc so the movie companies at least are realising what people do with their movies. |

| 1231147 | 2011-09-16 20:10:00 | Hi guys, I used DVD Audio Extractor and it worked beautifully - it even gives you the choice of ripping to .mp3 or. wav. I could not get XMedia Recode to work properly, but that's probably bacuase I'm a bit slow with new programs. Thanks to all sarel |

However if you rip the content off a DVD you purchased and listen to it on your portable music player, whether you are legal or not is probably irrelevant as no one is ever going to question you about it. I bought the John Butler Trio Live at Red Rocks album recently, and the two CD's of the performance are included in the package as they should be (damn good concert as well). But you get a DVD like the Arctic Monkey's concert they're not, so I think you're entitled to listen to the audio in another format (it is not even to my knowledge available as a CD). The New Zealand law on this sort of thing is made by people who appear willing to do whatever the record companies tell them to do, and I suspect Simon Power would struggle to describe what an Mp3 file is. His clear lack of knowledge in parliament recently demonstrated he is prepared to pass a law under urgency without understanding the issues at all. PS Most of the John Butler concert is now on YouTube by the way but don't watch it as that would be illegal in New Zealand and you could be fined $15000. |

| 1231149 | 2011-09-17 05:15:00 | I don't care about the legalities. I bought the DVD, want to listen to the music in my CD player so I am pretty sure I can do that - seeing as there are no CD that you can buy with the same music. sarel |
