Re: Ripping Copy Protected DVDs
FWIW, it's more or less actually not the 'breaking of encryption' that's at issue. It's that the encryption is copyrighted, so you are therefore violating the copyright of the encryption company by creating a derivative work.
So, before you (legally or illegally, whatever that means) break the copyright of the media protected by the encryption, you've already violated the copyright of the encryption company. Kinda weird, eh?
sounds odd, but breaking the encryption of the macrovision is the same crime as copying Titanic and giving it to a friend. (more or less) ???
