Can someone determine if you ripped a movie?

[X-treme]

The reason this thread was started is because X-Treme wants to know if people can find out when he pirates rental DVDs. He does not want to purchase DVDs that he enjoys enough to keep, but does not want to suffer any consequences.

Supreme2k, please keep your comments to yourself.

No where in my text did I state I was doing such a thing. I'm having a conflicting matter with friends and wanted it resolved.

Thanks for your input.

They can't tell, but they are implementing certain encryption that even DVDDecrypter can't crack. You'll notice these discs from your standard discs because they look like someone stuck it to the bottom of their shoe and ran a marathon with it. This clever encryption looks like everyday scratches. Sometimes it'll play in its entirety in your DVD player, but when you rip it it errors out. Clever indeed!

Supreme2K, you are a funny guy

Actually, it is not the laser intensity that changes, it is one of santa's dwarf that makes the disk spin in your DVD writer, that does it. If he sees that you put an original movie in your driver, he then checks if a ripper software is being used to read the disk. If so, he licks the disk in the middle leaving a special dye with his saliva. All that Blockbuster needs to do is to put the disk under a special ultra red light to detect any mark of saliva.
The good news is that the dwarf dries up after licking too many DVDs. The number of lick depends on the brand of your DVD recorder and the quality the media. The better the media, the longer the dwarf will live.

To shorten the life of the dwarf, try to buy cheap dvds, that are normally made of poor quality media, and copy all of them. My dwarf dried up after 10 copies of cheap stuff.

LOL! LOL! LOL! This belongs on a joke site! excellent man, I wish I was this witty, lol. And it's very detailed...
