Name one? All the ones I've reviewed are DRM'd up the ying-yang, and expressly forbid you to convert the file. Most have a timeout feature so you only get 24-48 hours to view the file before the DRM expires. Those are 100% the same as a rental movie, which you are also not allowed to backup.There are now quite a few sites offering mpeg and xvid downloads of certain types of commercially available movies. Many of these are more than 700Mb in size. Don't be too quick to judge.
I still maintain that 99.9% of 700/1400/2100 MB AVI conversions invlove Pirating, in the US.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

There are exceptions to the rule, but generally if it came out after the 1920's, you should consider it copyrighted unless you can prove otherwise...
for a good history of the copyright terms and extensions thereto, you should check out the book "Free Culture", which is available as a (legit!) free download.- housepig

So how about all of these upskirt/voyeur/barely 18 videos on the net/P2P? I've looked in the stores (behind the little curtain) and on TV, but I can't tell if they're commercial or not. How do you find that info? I need the answer quick, as I am trading them to a rich Nigerian prince who has promised me a larger p3n!s and sexy virgins waiting for me. -
The reason i do not download TV show's I can make a better copy my self with my Panansonic E80H

I cap TV shows and store them on DVDr all the time and I don't give a rat's ass what anybody has to say about it.

And that's the way it should be.

If you do not SELL the recorded OTA TV material you are NOT breaking the law! You do have rights to archiving OTA broadcasts and whether you do it yourself or a friend gets a copy to you or you download it you have a right to so so. This was a comprimise the OTA broadcasters had to submit to if they wanted congress to continue to give them the airwaves for free. Not it does become illiegal if you download pay (non-OTA) TV shows since they are not governed by the same rights as OTA broacasters.

fslove, you seem to have pulled some "facts" out of your ass. Your post is almost entirely untrue.

He didn't believe in what he was defending either but got the rest to go deeper into the case and they discovered that things weren't as they first seemed.
I have no problem defending the case further but I think Adam proved me wrong. I'm not a lawyer and what Adam said makes sense to me. Unless someone can confirm that the law is different to what Adam is saying, I'm out of arguments. -
An interesting point previously regarding the fact that you buy the plastic, not the content. Would that put me in breach of copywrite if I were to transfer my extensive collection of commercial VHS to DVD - speaking purely hypothetically, of course.
Reading the small print (reaches for x10 mag) it says "licensed for private home exhibition only" - so far so good, but it goes on to say " Any broadcast, public performance, diffusion (?) copying or editing is prohibited unless expressly authorised" That's from Buena Vista.
Sounds like a "Yes" to me (?) -

Just thinking to myself - don't you agree to abide by the conditions of purchase when you buy the product.
My point is I'm breaking an agreement, not a law.
"Fair Use" is not a law, it's an affirmative defense to breaking copyright. It's a possible exception to a law, not law itself. -
