Better example: Parents with small kids might want to make copies of their favorite DVD movies, knowing that in the eager, grubby hands of the tots, the life expectancy of a $20 DVD often can be measured in hours. You may be relieved to know I don't watch DVD movies in my truck, but I'd like the right to make backup copies of those discs, too.Įxample: I keep the original DVD on the shelf in the video library in my media room and make a backup copy to throw in the bag when I travel, in case I want to watch it on a long flight. ![]() The truck is a hostile environment for CDs, so if there's a chance that the disc is going to be scratched, warped or otherwise damaged, I'd prefer it to be a copy rather than the original. (That's the first copy.) Then I burned a backup CD (copy number two) that I listen to in my pickup truck. ![]() ![]() Commentary: Judge's ruling against DVD-copying software is another erosion of consumers' rights.Īs consumers, we assume we have the right to make a copy of an audio CD for personal, noncommercial use.Įxample: I plunked down $16 for a copy of John Mayer's Heavier Things and promptly ripped it onto my computer.
