| 600544 | 2007-10-12 05:39:00 | I think that ripping a CD to your hard drive, iPOD or other mp3 player is well within reasonable usage and shouldn't be deemed as vioating copyright... I think the things to remember here are reasonable and fair use... I reckon |

I thought only the U.S at the moment could use their new site. haven't tried it myself but Herald gadget guy Peter Griffin reviewed the service just recently and gave it the thumbs up. :) Speaking of the scum bag RIAA. This article has a good take on the situation. www.businessweek.com |

| 600547 | 2007-10-12 06:34:00 | I can never take anything that fellow writes seriously. Seems to depend a lot on what he is writing about. Although I can't say that I have tried using the Amazon music store for music. You have to download a plugin first but apparently it is fairly straight forward. The store only sells MP3s. |

| 600549 | 2007-10-12 21:39:00 | Not sure about CD ripping, but I could imagine getting interested in bodice ripping (with consent of course). | John H (8) | ||
| 600550 | 2007-10-13 19:38:00 | What about hiring a dvd movie and ripping it to your hard drive ? Would you say that is naughty ? Regards Digby |

| 600551 | 2007-10-13 20:48:00 | What about hiring a dvd movie and ripping it to your hard drive ? Would you say that is naughty ? Regards Digby That is illegal because you haven't purchased it. The difference between ripping a song and a movie is that most people listen to the same song numerous times - and the file is smaller, DVDs you gernerally only watch once. Movies themselves also cost more to produce and involve more people than the cost of producing a song. Cheap movie rental downloads are going to start appearing online very soon probably with a 30 day limit before the DRM kicks in and renders the movie unwatchable. Hopefully the movies will also be available at a very reasonable price like $9.99 or something. |
