When it comes to making personal copy , U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Hall Patel leave behind that all gray — that is , she chose not to rock the gravy boat on whether or not making personal copies actually falls under the “ clean usance ” doctrine of the DMCA . lashings of “ whitethorn ” and “ whiles ” in there :
“ So while it may well be comely use for an single consumer to lay in a backup transcript of a personally owned DVD on that individual ’s computer , a Union law has notwithstanding made it illegal to manufacture or traffic in a twist or tool that permits a consumer to make such copy . ”
So videodisk rip is kind of like laws about pot in some places : It ’s sorta effectual to own in sure circumstances , but not cosher to sell it . Thanks for clearing that up , jurist .
What that imply for Real , and their long - term plans — abox that archives DVDs — is even muddy . [ Wired , NYT ]
