Interesting read. I don't mean to appear to be dense but what's NWS?
-
It means Not Work Safe, rkr1958. Your work most likely has the same sort of policy making it an offence to post or view certain content that might be sexual or graphic in nature.
-
I have wondered what that meant too, but never got around to looking it up. Every day is a school day, I suppose.
-
Actually, the proper acronym (and more widely used, in my experience) is NSFW, Not Safe For Work.

As far as the "legit" uses for dvdshrink is when you recorded a captured program at too high of a bitrate and need to fit it on a single layer dvd.
So I wouldn't automatically assume a person using one of these programs is using it for nefarious means.
And besides - the rules on this sit allow you to discuss backup procedures for material YOU OWN YOURSELF.Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw? -
yoda,
Nice defense, but you are creating an argument where there is none. He mentioned rentals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As far as Netflix and BB being topics of discussion, I hate to break it to you cigarette-boy, but they've both been in the news (and in our mail boxes) quite a bit over the last year. The argument (for most) is that they sometimes have to wait a week, or something to that effect, for their next dvd. Netflix has (somewhat) acknowledged this. The rare occasions when people bluntly post about copying rentals, they're blasted by the forum posters, then blasted by the mods.
Your argument makes about as much sense as "If you don't like tax increases, you must be a terrorist!" -
chesterfield - this thread has not been locked because it is not out of control. Please don't call users "bickering fools", even if it appears that way to you. Also, please don't make unfounded accusations.

Does anyone else see how messed up this is?
Is this site starting to advocate warez?

This was the thread I was talking about, and when I pointed it out, all that happened was a thanks and the user got no warning whatsoever.Believing yourself to be secure only takes one cracker to dispel your belief. -

guba[dot]com is offering dvdrips for premium users
just point out that this is one place to download legal dvdrips through means of paying -
I'll tell you one thing: guba's days are numbered. No way is that place legal. Usually places like that think they are protected by some percieved loophole, but they get shutdown when they find out that the "loophole" is not worth the paper it's not printed on.
A company is not going to have dvd "rips" for download. A legit place will have source material directly converted to a more compact form (DivX, Xvid, iPod, etc). I doubt highly they would allow uploads. Why would a business create excess expense? -

Have we established here that unfounded accusations are to be discouraged?
That a file with "DVDRip" in the title is not necessarily illegal?
That downloading a dvd rip is not necessarily illegal?
That sending a large file using some method other than the postal service is not necessarily illegal?
That there is no "simple, actually" method to determine the contents of a file merely by looking at its name? -

This is one area where all of the dodgy posts can directly be linked to warez. Anything to the contrary, then you start making up hypothetical/fantasy scenarios. If the person in question has a reasonable explanation, they are certainly welcome to give it. They do not need anyone making excuses for them. Like a recent post, if someone is going through the trouble of telling us they ripped a rental, they can give us all the details, without someone offering the lame excuse of "Maybe they're a Netflix employee" We don't need "I just robbed a bank. Where should I hide the money? {20 posts later} Shut up! I'm not a crook! I own the bank!" -
Ripping a Rental is real clear. Ripping a Blockbuster disk is not. They sell their old rental disks.
At least one user has stated they regularly use DVDrip in filenames that they themselves created.
Jimmalenko has stated the correct case for a legally downloadable DVDrip.
A company which makes a video targeted to a limited, professional market, sold under a site license to include any number of desired copies, might well grant to the customer the right to reproduce or convert such a disk. This permission given both verbally and in writing would make copying a copyrighted disk a perfectly legal action, as in my previously cited post.
I think I understand the problem now.
It is not necessary for something to make sense to anyone in particular, or to be something they themselves would do, for an action to be perfectly legal and acceptable. Just because you don't like it does not make it a crime.
I have no want, need, or use for pirates, or thieves of any kind for that matter. But before the vigilantes throw the rope around some poor SOB's neck, they should either have extremely clear evidence or else leave the roping to those whose position it is to do it.
I will now rename ErnestBorgnineNude.jpg to NewMovie_DVDRip and E-mail it to anyone who wants one. -
Sometimes playing devil's advocate in defense of somebody stupid makes you look like more of a dumbass than the person that said something stupid to begin with.
Just a general statement, not pointing any fingers.
What is needed is quite simple, and that is for common sense to prevail. Moderators here tend to have a good grasp on reality. Not perfect, nobody is, so I don't see any harm in a thread like this, it's an honest question with good intentions. It's actually sort of nice that members care about the site, and want to enforce rules meant to keep it on the up and up.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

I am not advocating copying rentals, but if you are going to do it, keep your mouth shut.Believing yourself to be secure only takes one cracker to dispel your belief. -
