Only 3 months left to be a criminal ^_~

From June 1st it will now be, at long long long last!!, legal for you to rip a copy of any music, films, and even e-books that you’ve already bought.

You have always had the right to make a "backup copy" of any software you bought, but not when it comes to Entertainment media like movies or music!

Also for the first time a "Fair Use" exception to UK copyright law has been created, for the purposes of review / critiquing.

So does this mean that the DVD producers will now have to remove protection to allow people to make a copy as they will be entitled to?

Wasn't there a thread about this same subject just last week? (I may be thinking of another forum, of course).

Surely you can copy it or you cant, if you cant then its too restrictive

It's just legislation catching up with real life.....Nothing worth worrying about to be honest.
