Yes, because as you already know despite your obvious little charade here, being "illegal" and being "criminal" is not the same.

I should know, as I apparently taught you that. But why do you think backing up a DVD is neither illegal nor criminal?

You clearly used the word "criminal" in post 45, but like most of your lies refuse to admit it.

True, but not a lie. I said you *might* start calling one criminal. Given your previous statements I've linked to concerning the cracking of DRM, that you'd arrive at the conclusion that it's criminal is likely -- if you are consistent.

Trying to equate that act to making personal backups isn't going to fly though

Why not? It's the same law being broken. And unlike the the Russians circumventing AACS, people who distributed the tools to crack CSS (the DVD DRM) have already lost in court.

Still attempting to talk in circles and out of both sides of your mouth. Again, show a case where personal backups of currently owned media have been criminally prosecuted, since I have shown a case where distributing hacks of software likw OSX were criminally prosecuted, as well as Apple's own letter threatening criminal prosecution. Until then, your use of the word "criminal" in post 45 remains BS you knew was BS when you posted it.
