Totally agree. It's the old west trying to keep up with the world, it's only a matter of time before you are run over!
I have a question. Is copyright infringement (in the UK at least) a criminal offence or a matter for the civil courts?
- njs12345 15y agoI think it depends whether it's done commercially or not. See http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/part/I/chapter/VI/crossheading/offences http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/part/I/chapter/V...
- kamjam 15y agoAhh ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the link.
- arethuza 15y agoI believe that format shifting (e.g. ripping a DVD) is still technically illegal in the UK, although I don't think that anyone has actually been charged. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13429217 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13429217
