i need a DIRECT link to where it says the laws about copyright protection on DVDs. i had a dispute with my mom and i need something to show her that its not illegal to rip a DVD to your computer if you don't intend to redistribute it
 
I thought that was illegal. But I might be wrong.

I assume, this is a global law? Or US only? I'll look it up if I can.
 
no different countries have different laws but im not sure


but i just need something that talks about no distribution is OK
 
Good luck with that... there's no such animal. It is illegal to circumvent copy protection, even if/when you own the disc, even if you do not plan to redistribute it. Ripping a copy-protected DVD for any purpose is illegal. Essentially, the law that was bought and paid for by the movie and recording industries, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, takes away the Fair Use provisions of copyright law, which previously enabled people to make copies for their own use.

That's what I read. Do you remember DVD X Copy? They made tons of DVD copying programs. When that "law" went into effect, all programs that were developed to override copyright protection were deemed illegal. They still make software that allows you to copy your DVD's, but only if there is not copyright protection, such as a home made DVD of your family vacation or seomthing.

I just don't know of an official site that puts that all down on paper lol. CNET had a ton of articles saying practically the same thing, just over different court cases/rulings.
 
well i have Magic DVD Ripper and i ripped the dvds i rented to my comp
