I'm pretty sure Europe disapproves given the vast amount of DVD imports and that Europe remains R2 while US is R1. Does the governments not realize that not everyone has shifted to blu-ray yet?
And people sometimes wonder why the global economy is slowing down...if you prevent certain trades/imports/exports, it almost always hurts the economy not help it. There's almost always a buyer on the other side. |

And I could care less for Halo 4 either, the only FPS I play is Battlfield 3, but still man.
I never got why people feel the need to religiously stick to one genre. I play anything that's good. |

Europe's got enough on its collective plates at present to be dealing with such low level concerns like copyrights. If it fails then welcome to the Great Depression of the 21st. Century.

They should worry less about people who bypass protection just to make backup copies and worry more about people who mass-share it to everyone. |

Buying entertainment should not be considered an investement. Investing in a depreciating asset is foolish. But just so you know, I am not against personal backup copying. But I see the other side that the challenge for businesses that sell entertainment is a lot of their customer base create an adversarial relationship by not keeping these copies from getting out & distributed to the masses. There are good & bad businesses. There are also good and bad customers. Often in these discussions on forums people paint the picture they are some kind of saintly victim, and business are evil devils. And the people that never even buy anything, yet complain should just go away & shut up, because their voice doesn't matter on this seller/buyer relationship issue. |

Do you really think he meant to use this term in this way? He's obviously not planning on making money on it down the road.
If I open a restaurant next door to another restaurant is that "adversarial"? What does this term even mean to you?
Good and bad are very broad terms, can you define what you mean by them in this context?
I'm not anti-business, but I am pro-consumer. There are lots of bad laws that affect businesses, various forms of regulations designed to "protect" consumers that don't and that really just take away choices, whether it be to own an incandescent lightbulb or a decent shower head with higher than the regulated level of CFM. There are also drug laws that outlaw whole categories of things people want to buy and lead to gangs and violent cartels and fund terrorism. Copyright is an infringement on the rights of other people to do what they want with their own property.
I do buy a lot of anime/media/etc. so I guess I'm ok by your metric here but I think this is really wrong. People have a right to complain insofar as they are their own person. You may want to complain about them complaining, but their voice matters every bit as much as yours does. Even if they aren't buyers and sellers in this case, who is to say they could never be? People ultimately make these decisions based on their own subjective values. I don't complain about the people who watch TV and never buy a show (and yes, this is legal, but if you don't actually buy anything advertised and/or aren't counted in the ratings do you really matter at an individual level?) |

And as long as it is bit-for-bit, you are fine (unless you ask the studios.) If your archival process involves stripping the protection, however, then it is a separate issue.
Whether you are bypassing CSS, the encryption used on BDs, or whatever DRM is utilized by your digital copy of choice, it will be just as against the law.
Yes, you do. Too bad you do not own the content on the disc, and that distinction is a critical point. |
