321 Studios Plays It Safe Against the DMCA

Posted by timothy on from the dispensation-nation dept.

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. DCMA or DMCA? by BiggestPOS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I thought it was the latter, as opposed to the former. So is this like asking your mom to write a note to your teacher verifying that you are indeed exempt from Gym Class? "Tommy can't run today, he is not feeling well" "Our product is legal, LOOK, I have a NOTE!"

  2. Mommy.. what's DCMA? by thrillbert · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Is it:

    1) Digital Copyright Millenium Act?
    2) Dude Can't Make Anything?
    3) Do Clues Move Around?
    4) The Digital Millenium Copyright Act misspelled?

    If it was misspelled once, I can understand that. Twice means someone is having an ID 10T error. Three times means somenoe seriously needs to get laid.

  3. NO SUCH THING AS DCMA by Evro · · Score: 0, Redundant

    There is no such thing as the DCMA. If you are referring to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, the acronym is DMCA. While I realize that CmdrTaco likes these errors, they make the poster, the site, and its readers appear ignorant.
