Degradation or lack thereof was never a reason for the fair use rights of
consumers.


That actually was one of the arguments that swayed the decision.

The degradation of VHS tapes, which is what the law was drafted
based on arguments that they shouldn't have to be repurchased.

That argument is no longer valid, and will be one of the arguments
against the mindset that DVDs need to be backed up bit for bit, when
they do not. If you want a downconverted VHS tape, fine.

No digital extractions and no full res "backups" should be ever
considered legal. It opens the door to the thieves, regardless of how
honorable or noble your intentions are. Hell, the evidence is right
here after two years of bull**** since authoring drives came out.

Over 80% of you twits are thieves.



Whats your source on this NumNuts?

DVD's DO degrade...go back to chemistry 101 and bone up on oxidation...you
Twerp!!

For the rest of you...Sony ran thru this 20 years ago and this too will come
to pass.

DarkMatter too bad you don't have more graymatter!!
