  1. Correction on Is Copy Protection Needed or Futile? · · Score: 1

    EAC used to have that feature. The author removed that feature because he was afraid German law would find it a "circumvention device" and subject him to prosecution. If you can find an older version somewhere, you can try it.

    Having said that, I have a CD that claims to be protected, but EAC had no problem ripping it. It is, however, just a "non-conformant" CD, rather than multiple sessions.

    You could also try IsoBuster or the like to see if you can extract the sessions individually.

  3. Re:Copyright law is broke. Burn it down. on Judge Rules TorrentSpy Destroyed Evidence · · Score: 1

    As much as you don't like it, the current law says that a copy of a movie on DVD is *the same* as a copy of a novel on paper.

    Really? Where's the "no-public-performance" notice on the novel? If I take the novel with me on a trip to Europe, does it become unreadable? If I loan it to someone in exchange for $1, do I get in trouble? If I keep a shelf of novels in my bar that any patron can read, do I have to pay a special license fee?

    I'm sorry. Either they're selling us an item which we can do whatever we want with, barring distributing copies; or they're selling us a license to the content, in which case replacement media, in the same or a different format, must be available at a nominal cost.

    It is an item or a license. Choose one.

    There are lots of clients to choose from at the tigris.org site. If you don't want or need a file browser plug-in/Explorer extension/IDE integration, there are a number of apps to choose from. Granted, TortoiseSVN and Subclipse track the Subversion releases more closely than the others. Personally I use a combination of TSVN with Kdiff3. I also use AnkhSVN in Visual Studio, just for the auto-add and file icons.
