Re: why not fair use?

as if it makes a difference.

there are plenty of reasons, none of which will offend less - if - you choose to ignore a behemoth bent over backwards to spite the hand that feeds it, in my mind. all of the varous reasons are valid whether they be to remove parts not suitable for intended audience in ones home or time shift for elderly relatives who have little access to technology except for the vcr you, the jetsetter kids bought them years ago. but let's not go off trying to legitamize the entertainment value of it at all. you just need to settle in your mind that if you bought it, as long as you're not mass marketing material out of a suitcase or garage, setting up a cottage industry or laundering it for civilization destabilization, then noone should be using software as a weapon against your modest, best interest. bootleg tapes in the marketplace is criminal should be dealt with harshly. but we're talking about your average narcissitic household in pursuit of audio/video nirvana. piracy, what a red herring. i mean really, are we not men?

up on your feet.
