The problem is that the law FORCES you to teeter-totter on the line. Case in point...I have two children that I have purchased DVD's for...some are ridden with scratches, been watched a gazillion times (I HATE BARNEY)...so it is something I purchased that is ruined. NOW if the MPAA offered me a way to trade a disc...not even the cover art and box...JUST THE DISC...that is how I would do it in some cases...but that isn't what they do. Therefore, if I want to do a backup of MY OWN MEDIA...that I PURCHASED...I have to break the law...the law sais you have a RIGHT to back up your purchases...then they go and NEGATE the law by adding the encryption protection clause...basically a DO NOTHING LAW...imagine that!
My other problem is that I don't have certain TV markets where I live...it's not offered and if it was offered for a PRICE...I'd pay it....therefore If I wanted to watch those shows..I would have to use the internet as a DVR of sorts to watch the shows.
In NEITHER of those scenarios would I think about putting it on disk and selling it.
The problem with "LEGAL" purchases is that your purchase is BROKEN...it's like buying a truck..but they limit it to their brand of gas, tires and the speed is set at 35MPH....it's CRAP...TODAYS users..those of us that are under 40 DEMAND the ability to play media, video or audio in ANY FORMAT...on ANY DEVICE...ANYWHERE I WANT TO PLAY IT...and until the MPAA and RIAA can get that into their brains and business models...people are going to do whatever they do.....If those two organizations would tweak their business plans...it would bring in a large majority of those who WANT to be fair about it...BUT CAN'T because of the system!
