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.
No, I used it because both people who backup a DVD and foreign hackers circumvent DRM, which is covered by the DMCA. This is aside from the fact that foreigners who do no business here aren't subject to our laws (Elcomsoft sold their PDF cracking program in America).
Are you saying that motive has something to do with whether it's illegal?
Further lies aren't helping you, you're already on the record insisting the Russian hackers weren't criminal
False. I'm on the record insisting that you provided no evidence that they qualified for criminal prosecution IAW Sec. 1204, DMCA or the NET Act.
now trying to claim something else is criminal without equivalent proof
The proof that was required was any evidence of personal financial gain, which you didn't provide. However, anyone who backs up a DVD (Sec. 1201, DMCA) and takes advantage of that backup due to destruction of the original does by definition meet that personal financial gain requirement for criminal prosecution (Sec. 1204, DMCA) because he financially gained from not having to buy a replacement DVD. Likewise, those hackers selling their OS X slipstreaming tool would have fallen under Sec. 1204 -- but the tool was free.
Now quit going around in circles. I've explained all of this before several times, and even you can't be that dense.
Do you personally think that backing up a DVD is illegal? If not, why?
