Burning DVD's is this illegal? - GoFuckYourself.com

I hear both things, but say I rent a movie, or get one from a friend or whatever, and I decide to burn it so I can watch it later (not disribute or sell it) Does anyone KNOW wheather this is in fact illegal or not?

Does it really matter? I'm thinking that unless you live with an FBI agent, your chances of getting caught are very slim. The real question is how you feel about making copies of movies you didn't pay for.

doober · 06-03-2004, 08:17 PM

yes its highly illegal and when you start copying movies there will be a secret mssg send to fbi headquarters telling them you are thrief and that you do real bad stuff including jerk off to porn on the internet....

on that note, i burned 4 DVDS today alone

Fuck the Law, thas just a bunch of pussies telling what you can and cant do...

Kinda like how alcohol was illegal during prohibition, ya they all stopped drinking

Same way I feel about downloading music I guess, never really thought about it to be honest. I buy my fair share of dvds though, im a movie junky ;\

Mr. Marks · 06-03-2004, 08:55 PM

i dont have lots of money, but im a movie addict. so if i know a friend's got a flick that i like, i go, could i have that burned? they usually agree. in turn i loan my copies to others, sort of to return the favor. but if i do have money i usually buy the original. if you sell it, its illegal. otherwise, if its just for private viewing i dont think youd get caught.

Vitasoy · 06-03-2004, 08:59 PM

Technically illegal yes, it's more of a moral issue though.

Very true, As much as Id like to just burn a closet full of movies that is fucked up to the people that sweat blood into producing the movies. Then agian look at kazaa, new world I guess. But yes definitly a moral issue ;\

stev0 · 06-03-2004, 10:52 PM

Yes, it's illegal, but will you ever get caught? probably not...

Cloner · 06-03-2004, 10:54 PM

You can still do it, but it's not legal. All you need is the program DVDXCopy and a free little program called DVD43 that removes the encrypted data from the DVD so DVDXCopy can copy it. Not that I have the programs or copy DVDs

Sweat blood into producing the movies? hah, yeah right... any movie that makes it into a video store or onto your PC has already made millions for the company producing it.

If they were true "artists", whether it be music or movies, they wouldn't care about the financial gains, they would be happy that more people were affected by their creations.

TDF · 06-03-2004, 10:55 PM

There is better ways

you could rip the dvd into a .iso and use pinnacle instant copy to compress it (so it fits onto one DVD-R), then burn.. DVDXCopy often requires 2 discs.

(all hypothetically of course)

dvd x copy platinum.

but i find i cant burn EVERY dvd.... real pain in the ass cuz my pc pretty much locks up while i run the program and find out an hour + later the dvd wont fucking copy

pimplink · 06-03-2004, 11:07 PM

I'm not really sure but I think nobody can arrest you as long as you don't make it your business and gain financially from it...

{fusion} · 06-04-2004, 12:35 AM

sucks if your films get scratched, if you own it, you should be allowed to make a backup.

that sucks as dvds do get fucked real easy

mardigras · 06-04-2004, 01:31 AM

DVD companies should have a program where you can return a damaged disc with a nominal fee for replacement.

SnM Productions · 06-04-2004, 09:55 AM

I use two different programs.. both work fine.. 1 click DVD copy (which you'll need the afformetioned DVD43 running while copying.. 1 click compresses all info to one disc, also gives you the option of stripping the extra audio tracks to save space.. (I don't really need french or spanish) also DVD Cloner II is great.. has all the same features + it will copy your DVD games, not that I rent those and copy them either or anything...

EviLGuY · 06-04-2004, 09:59 AM

If you live in Canada is legal to copy but not distribute.. at least as far as I last heard.

Check out http://www.afterdawn.com/tools/dvd_layer.cfm

It'll tell you if movies are single or dual layer. All the burners and media out now will only burn the single layer ones. Team that up with Netflix and you're set.

If your conscience is getting to you, then here's a simple solution... burn the copy to a rewriteable media such as DVD-RW. Once you've watched it you can erase it or overwrite it with something else. No chance of being caught red-handed with 200 DVD-Rs

I have a DVD recorder (like a VCR) so I just record movies off pay TV, and then burn them to DVD-R via the PC. I'm pretty sure *that* is legal since it's for personal use only.

Screaming · 09-17-2004, 10:12 PM

well i dont know but i find it hard to think that they would sell something that was illegal to use and i mean sell it in walmart and kmart not in the back room of a smoke shop

block · 09-17-2004, 10:19 PM

It is illegal to duplicate and distribute dvds.... so yes it is illegal. but hey everything is legal unless you get caught right?
