Yes, I believe I have said that before (countless
times on many forums), not sure why you think
you're correcting me. Except that Macrovision
is a protection system. So getting around it (software
or hardware) is illegal.
I'm probably going to start using backups for
the kids' stuff soon, too. Illegal or not. I'm
not fighting through the studios idiocy anymore.
MV, CSS, DMCA, and then putting discs OOP. Gimme
a break.
I've never read posts by you before, so my impression of the one I did read was that you were saying the legality laid within the coping and not the cracking of the encryption.
The worst thing about most DVD's for kids IMHO is all the damn previews the load up front. When I got Shrek 2 and put it in for my son I had to listen to him scream for minutes because the DVD producers of the disc just had to put in that preview for Madacascar and not allow you to jump straight to the menu.
And don't get me started on the Wiggles..... Fruit Salad...... yummy.... yummy.... ;)
