I like your system and am thinking of setting up something similar. But, correct me if I'm wrong, I thought ripping was always illegal. Or is ripping for personal use without intent to distribute ok?
- acidburnNSA 3y agoRipping a personal collection for personal use is legal.
- slau 3y agoDepending on your current location, the size of the collection, whether you’re the original purchaser of the physical copies, and a million other variables.
- rpdillon 3y agoBut just to clarify: a DVD loaned by a library doesn't fall under a "personal collection", right? It seems like it would be hard to argue Fair Use if you're ripping a loaner.
- acidburnNSA 3y agoTrue for real libraries. But little free libraries I mention are little neighborhood boxes with free stuff in them that you can take for keeps, at which it becomes part of your personal collection.
