It would only be illegal if they had been pirated or stolen Sherman. Thanks Mate. BTW I have no intention of broadcasting or publicly screening the movies and only back up DVD's In case of a house fire which could destroy my DVD collection. I also have 1980's Dr Who tapes |

| 558409 | 2007-06-12 10:37:00 | The fact they are now on your iPod is illegal. Despite belief to the contrary, it is currently still illegal to copy copyright DVDs in New Zealand, whether you purchased the DVD or not. Backing up your DVDs for "safe keeping" is done at your own legal risk. Laws are under review I believe right now. The fact that I have just over 3000 music tracks ripped from music CDs on my computer is also illegal under New Zealand's current copy right laws too. Irrespective of the fact that those CDs were purchased legally in the first place. NZ's copy right law is about 10 years out of date and is acomplete impractical and totally unenforceable waste of time. Even with the RIAA successfully suing every kid and their grandmother for illegally downloaded songs in the US it didn't even put a dent in music piracy. It was only with the introduction of a suitably priced legal alternatives that kids and their grandmothers actually started paying for legal downloads of songs. Hollywood is working on the movies bit right now. |

| 558411 | 2007-06-12 10:59:00 | I forgot to say "end rant" Why do you think that cheap legal digital music services are so successful? Because you only buy the tracks from the CD that you want for a reasonable price which means that there is less need to "share" the music, without the crappy filler tracks that the music companies want you to buy when you cough up for an over priced CD that the artist only gets about $1 from if their lucky. Fat Freddy's Drop has a slightly different deal that is more in their favour because they got big first through a lot of hardwork before they signed a music deal-therefore the ball was in their court. Most of the recent successful artists have made it big via the web rather than with music companies eg Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen, Gnarls Barkley to name a few. Sorry, got very side tracked. |
