downloading movies- I don't

Oh. You and stuff in space

Complaint calls never hurt

is legal to capture,
regardless of dvd or not(here in the USA)

sure, legal to capture, but legal to distribute/download for absolutely free? nope

drfsupercenter: i think you are lying. nobody is going to download a whole season of any show (with or without watermark) and then go out and pay $50 or more for the dvd

[drfsupercenter]

I do though LOL

And, I never saw anything deeming downloading TV captures illegal. "innocent until proven guilty", the same idea applies to this... legal unless stated illegal (at least I think... I am still taking government class LOL)

OK enough of this legal stuff.

We do not give legal advice or make legal pronouncements. Lawyers do that and in this case, very senior intellectual property ones, which we definitely are not. futurex, please take note, OK?

drf, what you do in the privacy of your computer room is your biz. Do NOT make it ours if there is any semblance or possibility of copying protected content which you do not legally own. You have already been warned many times about this yet you continue to walk a very fine line.

@all - if you think a post is bad, may I remind you of rule 17, which sets out the procedures to follow and minimises argument on the forum. This rule seems to be honoured more in the breach these days, which is disconcerting.

Depending where you download movies and the speed of your comp it isnt that bad. I download full DVD5's all the time. The are usually DVD9's that someone has already shrank to DVD5 with CCE for me. It takes me about an hour on my 9mb/s line.
