Your attempts to compare those crominal actions to personal backups, which can be legal as in the case of LP's, is absurd

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.

You've also already outright admitted to knowingly lying on these subjects

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.

No that remains irrelevant, other than additional proof of your evil intent. You clearly used the word "criminal", not "illegal", in post 45, to lower the bar of acceptability for the actual criminal behavior of the foreign hackers you have been defending for months with lies. Further lies aren't helping you, you're already on the record insisting the Russian hackers weren't criminal, now trying to claim something else is criminal without equivalent proof is just more proof of your deceit.
