good for you

why don't you post the list of sites that gave in to your requests.

Umm.. We have different laws for Legally Protected (DRM) content, that's why people hate it on Music so much. Fair rights is out the door, educate yourself.
|
IF you bypassing drm was a crime, as you seem to want to claim, then you could never rip an mp3 for your ipod, zune or blackberry. Tools that bypass the drm would result in a one way ticket to jail.
do a google search on
drm removal there are hundreds of tools to do just that.
Fairuse4WM hides behind fair use right of backup by stating "FairUse4WM is intended to be used to make fair-use backups only" even though they it can be used to rip out copyprotection and upload those files to torrent sites./shared with friends etc.
IF drm trumped fair use they could not do that.

Fact is.. Piracy happens from the online sources, and hardly from the DVD sources. I own DVD's, unique content from the paysites/plugins. They aren't pirated and they run several serious deep.

but we were talking about the theoritical world where everyone was streaming securely (herding cats) and you could not record the stream (see virtualizing of the video card)

The DRM laws apply in Canada too, it's International buddy. You crack DRM in canada, I don't have to sue you. I just press criminal charges and let you deal with the bullshit.
|
see fairuse4WM if what you were saying was true, apple, etc would have sent them to jail a long time ago. If i need to remove drm to fulfil a fair use right, i can legally do so, even if don't want me too.
Fair use has been proven to trump drm in the fairuse4wm cases and in the hundreds of cases for all the drm removal tools.

Like others in this thread have, I have gotten my reviews changed and corrected. So whatever you are thinking is just wrong.
They can give me a bad review and leave it up, I just wont pay. Good for me, bad for them. Bad reviews still send sales.

like i said i would never trust a site that backpeddled like that
so why not post all the sites that backpeddled.

So, and someone else will make a better way. And all while doing this 99% of the people will never ever use steal it once it's protected.

They don't buy my content, it's not a DVD, they buy a subscription to a website which has content on it that isn't allowed to be copied, duplicated, uploaded or shared under law.

just like the television signal
and just like the television stations you can't TOS away fair use right
if they could the supreme court would never have ruled
Quote:
Even unauthorized uses of a copyrighted work are not necessarily infringing. An unlicensed use of the copyright is not an infringement unless it conflicts with one of the specific exclusive rights conferred by the copyright statute. Twentieth Century Music Corp. v. Aiken, 422 U.S., at 154 -155. Moreover, the definition of exclusive rights in 106 of the present Act is prefaced by the words "subject to sections 107 through 118." Those sections describe a variety of uses of copyrighted material that "are not infringements of copyright" "notwithstanding the provisions of section 106." The most pertinent in this case is 107, the legislative endorsement of the doctrine of "fair use." 29 [464 U.S. 417, 448]

all that movie studios would have to do to force you to pay them 5 buck an episode for lost would be to TOS away the timeshifting rights.
they can't do it legally and neither can you, you might be able to sucker some fool into believing you can when they signup but more and more people are learning the truth.

Sweet, and I rent access to my members area and not to single videos that you can own, burn, or old in your hands.
|
except you are sending the bits to my location, not me comming to your location
their is a difference
it the difference between a movie theater
and a cable tv subscription
your membership is a subscription and so is a cable subscription
anything i have a legal right to do with my cable subscription (timeshifting) i have a legal right with your subscription.
Quote:
You subscribe to cable networks, you pay fees to get them. You aren't subscribing to my porn tv network. You are subscribing to my website that has a set way it delivers several different products. All of which are nothing like TV.
Anything else?

it exactly like tv in the important distinctions
1. the bit stream of data is delivered to my home
2. it a subscription
3. the courts have recognized that even if unauthorized i have a right to timeshift my favorite shows.
your website is exactly like a specialty channel that i subscribe to on my cable bill.
When they cancel dr who again, i will unsubscribe from BBC canada but i have a legal right to keep all the shows i recorded (when i have a pvr) and all the copies i downloaded (when i replaced pvr with a torrent box). I will continue to legally timeshift my viewing rights to after that subscription is long since dead.
The same is true for your web site. IF invent a technology that records the secure stream, i have the same right to sell my software as sony had to sell their betamax and there is nothing you can do about it.
