Is DVD Movie Copying Legal?
Depends on you you listen to or where you
live in the world. And, more importantly, who you believe. The answer
is still in the gray. The uninformed will tell you that copying any
DVD is illegal. So what is the truth of the matter?
No one really knows. There simply is not
enough case law. But do we know?
It is illegal to copy rented DVDs. This
is stealing. In some lands, DVDs are purchased, duplicated, and sold.
This is illegal and unethical. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to
enforce DVD piracy in such places.
It appears to be legal make a copy of a
DVD that you purchased or personal use.
Industry heads like DVD manufacturers and
movie studios call the copying of DVDs illegal because it infringes
upon copyright law.
On the other hand, the public cites the
Audio Home Recording Act of 1992 as their justification for copying
DVDs. This Act states that it is perfectly legal to copy a media
source the you have purchased for the purpose of a backup or
replacement copy.
Currently, the studios and manufacturers
are making their DVDs and CDs as hard as possible to record so that
they may not be copied. However the DVD burning software industry has
found ways to circumvent these extra measures taken by studios.
So the answer is: DVD copying is legal if
you are owner of the DVD and you make a copy for your own personal
use.
