yes it’s means anytime you pick up a signal and change to a different medium to tranport... the ruling it is a copyright violation.

I was part of the MAI Basic 4- Prime copyright case back in the 80’s.... look it up ....the court ruled that when you load a program from your hard drive into memory on your computer that was a copyright violation...

So if I want to back up my favorite DVDs and make a copy on my computer, I’m violating copyright? Even though the only user of the material is me, the original purchaser?

Thanks, but that seems to imply that taping a program on an old VCR tape is also a violation. I thought that was settled long ago in favor of private use.

This is a dumb decision by a court too old to have to bear the burden of their own decision.
