Yes, but it stops easy copying. Don't let good be the enemy of perfect.

- eximius 10y agoInteresting reversal of that saying. Regardless, my point was the futility of it because screen recording is acceptable, not that we shouldn't strive for better.
- gregmac 10y agoReally it makes it easier to download the pirated copy, where someone's already done the work of getting around the copy protection, plus removed the menus and unskippable ads and copyright warnings.
- Fnoord 10y agoIronically, you're allowed to make a copy for yourself if you rent.
- sp332 10y agoBut you have to delete the copy when you give the original back so what's the advantage?
- Fnoord 10y ago> But you have to delete the copy when you give the original back so what's the advantage? You do in the USA? Why? AFAIK, not in The Netherlands. The copy was made from a legal source and in a legal way, and is therefore legal regardless if you do or do not possess the original copy.
- sp332 10y agoYes, in the USA you also have to destroy copies when you sell a movie or CD to someone. This is the whole point of copyright - to limit distribution. Otherwise running a rental service wouldn't be any different from hosting a download site.
