I heard DVD decrypter guy had some legal or federal people show up at his door and slap him with papers. That would scare me. But the point is this: if you buy a dvd and it gets scratched, will the company send you another dvd? Yeah, sure. Even if they agreed to replace your DVD they'd hit you with a shipping fee which would be about the same price of you buying a previosly viewed DVD from Blockbuster. Or wouldn't it be more economical to let the buyer make a backup for less than a buck? You can make backups for personal use of software costing hundreds of dollars, but you can't make one of a $20 DVD??
And if you use the reasong if people using dvd software to make pirated dvd copies, then you might as well ban Nero and all the other CD copying software, because they can do the same thing.
People, ban together and don't take this guff. If you let these morons do this, tomorrow you'll have the computer police at your door giving you a cavity exam.
