Copying DVDs?


I have recently gotten a spate of email spam from people claiming to sell software (or something) that allows me to copy DVD (movies, presumably) onto my CD burner, then play them back in my DVD player.

Is anyone aware of this? Is it something that can be done anyway with no special software? What are the downsides?

This has been stated already but needs to be repeated. It is obvious that people do not understand their rights. You can copy anything for personal use. You can not copy anything for profit!

So photocopy, lp copy, cd copy or dvd copy. Just don't rip others off.

Also, in case you are unaware it is also legal to tape concerts as long as the venue or artist has not disclaimed it in advance.

Don't take away more of our rights before big brother or the corporation do!
