MPAA Sues Company For Selling Pre-Loaded iPods
ColinPL writes, "The MPAA has launched yet another 'defensive attack,' this time on a small business that is pre-loading movie DVDs onto iPods and reselling them. The original DVDs of the movies that are loaded are also given to the customer. The MPAA is claiming that the service Load 'N Go Video offers is completely illegal because ripping a DVD is against the DMCA. The MPAA is also suing the company for copyright violation."
It's disabled because the MPAA is sueing Slashdot for copyright infringement.

Good thing for me, I believe in Moral Relativity. If it's wrong, but not really wrong.
Guns don't kill people.
People w/ decrypted movies that portray guns kill people.
Don't let the terrorists watch the Matrix on their IPOD!
How much is your data worth? Back it up now.
It seems like a logical progression from suing their customers...

You're Goddamned right it's pretected! I wouldn't have it any other way, and I'm sure I speak for everyone else here when I say that!
Hell, even if it weren't pretected, then it SHOULD be, dammit.
There ought to be a CLEAR law, ensuring pretection, for EVERYONE! We need to eliminate pretection greyosity, for certitudinousness, from now, into infinitis!
That's what I think, anyway.
'course, it's past time for my meds, so, I could be wrong.
The last sentence is a joke - I took my meds on time - otherwise I couldn't spell "certidudinousness" correctly
By your logic, someone that takes a picture of the Statue of Liberty is stealing it.

No, they're a terrorist. Try to keep up here.
My God, it's Full of Source!

Your post didn't help. Now I know how Yoda would sound after a Meth hit.
Man, Sony's been so evil lately it's even invading our subconsciousness!

Since when did sanity matter, when it comes to the law? We are talking legal arguments here, not rational ones.

They can "decide" that the moon is made of green cheese if they like, but it doesn't make it so.
