This means that if there is DRM on a DVD, even though it is legal to make a backup of the media you own it is illegal to bypass the DRM. There is no copyright infringement, but you have broken the law.
- Der_Einzige 3y agoWhat a stupid law. Needs to be removed asap. If buying isn’t owning, than piracy isn’t stealing. If I pick a lock for a safe I bought, it’s not illegal. But if I do that with software it’s illegal? Fuck that!
- textread 3y agoSo, have you still broken the law if that DVD contained media which is in the public domain?
- boomboomsubban 3y agoYes, bypassing DRM is against the law unless you're doing so for one of the approved reasons. What content you're bypassing DRM to access is unimportant.
