321 Studios Plays It Safe Against the DMCA

Posted by timothy on from the dispensation-nation dept.

mblase writes: "CNet reports on a request by 321 Studios to have it legally declared that their DVD Copy Plus software doesn't violate the DCMA. DVD Copy Plus works on a Windows PC by copying DVD video to a recordable CD in VCD or similar format. If successful, this could be a major legal weapon against the DCMA in the future. 321 Studios' press release is here."

  1. Linda Boreman, "Deep Throat", dead at 53 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard the sad news on talk radio. Pornographic star Linda Boreman was found dead in her Denver home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss her - even if you didn't enjoy her pornographic films, there's no denying her contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon. She will be missed :(

    Taking someone's work and calling it your own is "plagiarism." Benefitting commercially from a copyrighted work is called "copyright infringement." They are two entirely different things.

    How much does she make again? There seems to be a basic disconnect with the simplest elements of intellectual property laws here, and this isn't the first example.

    sigh... 90% of debates seem to be teaching the ABCs of logic, argument and the definitions of words.

  5. Good for them, but I don't like their program... by Ryu2 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I appreciate companies taking a stance like this. However, I get a lot of spam for such programs, and not only due to their spamming practices, I think the programs themselves are sleazy because you can do the exact same thing with freeware, see http://www.doom9.net/ for the details and all you need.
