When I first started this thread, it was just a simple question. I didn't expect this. Especially reading that damn DMCA.

Everybody has made some very valid points.

One point is you can't crack their code, another is Fair Use.
Depending on interpretation, they counter each other. This can and does leave this very open to debate. Hense this thread.

I've only heard of the movie companies going after one program, but in the end, the program is still available with minor changes. Has anyone heard about them going after individuals(not counting people who downloaded from or put on P2P networks) for making personal copies. Include a link if possible.

In the end, after all this discussion, I'm on the edge. I'm not completly convinced yet it's illegal, but stand by my right of Fair Use.

A note to everyone, thanks for keeping this thread civil. I know I was a little vocal. It's just these companies get my goat. Any anger interpretted in my posts is directed towards them. Not anyone here. I see everyone here as being like me, a hard working Joe/Joan trying to get through life with the fewest bumps in the road.
