So what, what difference my recording off TV or downloading off the
Internet? An injustice? Please, the Constitution (Article 1, Clause
8) states for a LIMITED time. Last I looked, Steamboat Willy is yet
to enter the public domain, legislation is also being looked at to
extend copyright out past it's current 95 years or life plus 70, the
public good and innovation are certainly not being served. Please,
the media companies certainly do not need your sympathy for abducting
our culture.
You record an authorized broadcast from your TV for personal use - that is
legal.
Renting a DVD, copying it to your hard drive, and then sharing the ISO for
millions to leech is illegal. Downloading said ISO is illegal.
Is this so difficult to understand?
