I record things from television using MythTV or buy used DVDs. I buy them
used so as to avoid giving money to the large media companies.
And "one should not buy or tolerate any product with DRM handcuffs unless one
personally possesses the means to break the handcuffs. For instance, don't
use encrypted DVDs unless you have DeCSS or another comparable free program."
[0] CSS was broken many years ago, so for us free software types it
essentially doesn't exist.
The DMCA? Forget it. If you want to make a copy of something that you own
then do it. Don't by stopped by the DMCA. The law is wrong and doesn't
deserve to be obeyed. Think of it as a form of civil disobedience. [1]
