@pilif, you're allowed to backup CDs and DVDs, why not books?
- e12e 14y agoAre you allowed to do that in the US? I thought backing up a (movie) DVD would be considered circumventing DRM (CSS in this case) ?
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoI'm not sure it's ever been tested (and potentially never will be as it's unlikely anyone would be taken to court over genuine backups I suspect). Isn't this one of those areas which even if it is potentially technically illegal is likely to practically never be an issue?
