You're absolutely correct.
Not breaking the law here—that is, buying DRM ebooks or DRM DVDs/BRs—is also getting punished, actually, if not in the legislative sense but in usability sense.
So, it makes even better sense to pirate than buy-and-rip.
Actually, as a personal anectore I've quit ripping DVDs a long time ago. When I sometimes buy a DVD movie from the sale basket, I don't even bother to rip it. I just torrent it because the unrestricted, compact .avi file without any crap, ads, menus, propaganda and whatnot is what I want.
- aerique 14y agoWhile you're doing the morally right thing by paying for the DVD you are also adding polution to the environment by buying a physical copy (that you do not even use!) just to satisfy a couple of dinosaur corporations that refuse to change. Just adding another dimension to your moral compass ;-)
