There is one exception to the rule.If you but a piece of media for somebody who does not have a suitable player,you can copy the media onto another format for that person. |
Hmm.... strange. According to my law, I'm entitled to make a copy for private use, practice and study. Your DVD-example is kinda badly chosen, by the way, since to my knowledge, you can't record the output from a DVD player to a vcr. Protected also. You could make a DVD-rip for use on your PC, however... |
That might be Dutch law,but it's certainly not British law.
If you were allowed to make endless copies of a CD for yourself,the CD would never wear out.Therefore it would never need replacing,therefore effecting sales.
Sorry for the badly chosen example.It was the one given to me by the authorities when I looked into this a while ago
.They seemed to think that it got the message over pretty well
