You. You came down on me for exercising fair use, including ripping DVDs.

No I've come down on you recently for defending the foreign hackers that hacked OSX to run on a Dell. In an attempt to justify their actions you then admitted to downloading digital content instead of making backups of personally owned media, yourself. I also know of no one being "criminally" charged for making a personal backup of a regular DVD, nor would I claim such action was criminal, you obviously just have the problem of being on the record defending something that very likely was criminal, the actions of the Russian hackers who hacked OSX and distributed the hack, and are still trying to blur the lines and lower the bar for acceptance of actual criminal activity.

They didn't even do that like you are falsely claiming.

ROFL, there you go defending the Russian hackers again, even though you claim you never have. Yes, they were distributing the crack to OSX, which you falsely tried to claim couldn't be criminal, you called Apple's letter threatening civil and criminal penalties quote "BS", even went on to make up outlandish lies that Russian hackers wrote software that was used extensively by the US DoD, lies you eventually admitted to making up on your own. So if I see something else funny in what you write, it would appear I've earned the right to question it.

Your quote:

FYI "cracking" anyone's DRM is illegal.

So now we know you think backing up your DVDs is illegal. Now, do you think it's criminal?

It's not complicated at all, distributing illegal hacks of DRM is criminal

You certainly think that the means by which a person can backup his DVDs is criminal. And let's combine this with the fact that you think that the Russian hackers breaking the very same law that a DVD backup breaks (DMCA, circumvention) are criminal for that action.

You have basically claimed that backing up your legally-purchased DVDs is criminal.

Yes, they were distributing the crack to OSX

Now you change your story. So which is is? Are they distributing the hack like you sometimes claim, or are they distributing a hacked version of OS X like you sometimes claim? Get your story straight for a change. I know you like to be a moving target so people can't nail you down to your lies, but it's finally time to stop.
