Re: copying dvds

I just stated as to why Nero will not copy a copy protected DVD.  No 
commercial software will do this because it's illegal under the law to do 
so.  I didn't say he couldn't do it, I just stated that Nero won't do it and 
why it won't do it.

Rick,

I believe your response here is unduly hard. Francis is right that we ought
to be able to copy any work we buy for our own purposes, as we photocopy
newspaper articles for our own files and CDs onto cassette and even onto our
PCs. There can be nothing illegal about copying the content of a DVD onto
our own system. However, it may be that manufacturers copy-protect their
DVDs against even this personal use out of fear of distribution occurring
from that point.

So what Francis wants to do isn't illegal, but that doesn't mean he will be
able to do it.  I don't know the answer to this second question, but it's
the one he's asking.

Nero doesn't copy copy protected DVD's since this is Illegal.

hi there, I bought a dvd but nero tells me that I'm unable to copy this dvd,
because of copy protection, but surely I ought to be able to copy it onto my
computer?
