Should you burn your own DVD movies?

  1. Yes, I want it now, who cares if it is illegal.

    Is it right or wrong? I have someone who loaned me LOTR on DVD and I just watched it. I feel dirty.

    Considering the price of manufactured DVDs and the price of blanks, its just plain silly to rip them (and NOT get the "extras").

    I was just going to post the same thing. I wonder how long it'll take for the prices to drop?

    Hydra,

    That is EXACTLY why I posted this, I am curious to see how many think it is ok.

    I feel bad about watching it, but have already paid to see it 2 times.

    I will of course buy the DVD when it comes out, but there is something inately cool about seeing a movie on your TV while it is still in theaters.

    I was going to ask the same thing Hydra. That is the ultimate definition of being a hypocrite...

    What I can't wait for is being able to record rockets games on a recordable DVD player with blank discs.

    Hmm....Hypocrit huh?

    I guess somewhat, but I don't own it, I only watched it.

    I can see your points though. By this definition, is it illegal to watch a stolen movie, or to borrow a stolen game...I think it is.

    Yep...I am being a hypocrit I guess, but dang LOTR is a good movie.

    Wouldn't it be cool if you could have the best of '02 dvd where you splice together all the highlights? :)

    ... and leave all the "yeah, it would be a 2 minute video" comments to yourselves! :D

    A coorporate exec would call you a hypocrite DaDa. If you read the fine print, viewing rights are only legal for the owner and a small group of people with him.

    I wouldn't lose sleep over it. ;)

    Anyways... intellectual property has gotten to a point where available technology has been able to duplicate it at a small loss and relative ease. It's only going to get worse. If I had a business Phd, I'd find another way to generate revenue, such as embracing the technology they're so desperate to hide, instead of relying on the old business paradigms. Having extras is a great incentive to make people buy the real deal. And I doubt that piracy will ever be eliminated in a Democratic country...
