Alex, you are right on the money with your interpatation. Who would want to sell a DVD for little or no money, when the buyer could go rent or watch with all the resources that are availible these days. Netflix, Hulu, Block buster, youtube, flicker, vimeo, and in the very near future redbox. So I think trying to sell for prophet is a waste of time, but I should be able to watch on my iPad, iPhone, or appleTV. Not every DVD comes with a digital copy these days.

When you go to rip a modern dvd, you'll find it encrypted, what many (incorrectly) refer to as copyrighted. The movie is copyrighted, but the physical means by which the manufacturer of the disk tries to stop any copying of the disk is a form of encryption. Anyway, you try to rip a dvd like you would a cd, and you find it encrypted, or "copyrighted". So, you investigate ways of removing this "copyright", or encryption, so you can put the movie on your computer. No, the original poster never stated his intentions, but I guess I'm nieve enough to assume that my above description is his goal. (How do you spell that "nieve" word anyway?)

I'll not go into the Movie Vault here, but copying a dvd one already owns is, to me, not stealing anything. Provided the digital copy is not sold to, given to, or otherwise distributed to anyone else, I see the copy as a backup or a way of watching something you already paid for on another device. For instance, say you have a Mac Mini hooked up to a living room tv, but the Mini has no disk drive (as they have not for a couple years). You also have a Macbook (also no disk drive) in the house. Both devices share a network-based iTunes library, and as neither can play your movie, you simply convert the movie into a format that your devices can use. Yes, you can buy the movie twice over just to have it in a compatible format, but now you've paid twice for something you owned in the first place but was simply not compatible with today's technology. I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but that's my opinion. Again, you cross a line when you start distributing your copies to other people, but as long as it's for your personal use and is used to get around technological incompatibilities, I don't view it as stealing and therefore have no problem helping others convert their outdated dvd libraries into modern files playable on today's diskless computers. >> On Dec 29, 2012, at 9:17 PM, Ray Foret Jr <rfore...@att.net> wrote: >> >>> My sword also drawn, well sharpened and at the ready.

Frankly, it's the attitude on the part of some blind people that just because they're blind, they have the right to steal copy right protected material makes me want to vomit!!! Nothing gives anybody the right to Steal like that. I don't care if it's a physical store, a DVD or what ever. When you buy a DVD or CD, or even a download, all you have is the right to the individual private use of that intellectual property. You DO, NOT, OWN, that intellectual property. That is the work of someone else: and, unless that someone else specifically gives you the right to make further use or to further distribute that intellectual property, , it IS, NOT, yours to do with as you will. The only thing you own is the physical medium on which that intellectual property happens to reside. >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Sincerely, >>>>> The Constantly Barefooted Ray >>>>> Still a very proud and happy Mac and Iphone user! >>>>> >>>>> On Dec 29, 2012, at 7:04 PM, Karen Lewellen <klewel...@shellworld.net> wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> Half a moment. >>>>>> Mod alert before this thread goes any further. >>>>>> You actually expect people to guide you towards stealing property here? >>>>>> Just as bad as the other thread recently telling someone how to seal movies from the vault of stolen material the mice gives away. >>>>>> I trust a mod will prevent this before it gets out of hand. >>>>>> Karen >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> On Sat, 29 Dec 2012, Kliphton wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>>> So, what apps do people use to remove copyright protection from >>>>>>> DVD's so it can be ripped?
