More lies in defense of the foreign criminals that not only circumvented Apple's DRM but distributed the circumvention to the world at large. Your attempts to compare those crominal actions to personal backups, which can be legal as in the case of LP's, is absurd, especially since you yourself refused to legally perform personal backups and illegally downloaded seperate content instead. You've also already outright admitted to knowingly lying on these subjects, which is apparently feel you might as well lie in every future post, but obviously that tactic is doomed to failure, however it will allow me to continue to bump this thread so others will see your evil intent.

But that's not the question. The question is whether you think a backup of a DVD is legal. An LP doesn't have the DRM that brings the DMCA into play. A CD doesn't have DRM, yet the RIAA has stated that ripping (a backup) is not fair use, i.e., it infringes on copyright.

especially since you yourself refused to legally perform personal backups

I didn't refuse. I didn't have the means. You know this, yet you persist in your libel.

Really? Prove it. Notice plural, "these subjects," aside from the fact that my test of you wasn't even about any of these subjects, instead being on the subject of network security tools.
