Copy Protected?

[Jobber]

I recently replaced my stand alone DVD recorder that broke a few weeks ago. With this only being my first full day with the recorder, I decide to play around with it. My plan was to recorde a movie I received from Netflix today and play around with the features while I do so. As soon as I start to play the movie the dreaded words appeared "Copy Protected." Yikes! So I decide, maybe it's just Netflix movies. Nope, I tried several others and they are all copy protected. Are all movies copy protected? Did I make a wrong choice in DVD recorders (Phillips)? Is there some way to get around the copy protection? A DVD Recorder is pretty much useless if you can't recorder off commerical DVDs.

Someone please point me in the right direction.

Almost all DVDs are copy protected. And discussing recording or copying a Netflix video is in violation of our rules.
