Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Texas, Dr. Emilio Bombay Column.
Byline: Michael Gerst
Jun. 11--DEAR DR. BOMBAY: I would like to get a step-by-step process for copying a DVD movie or music to another blank DVD. Also, how do I get DVD music copied to a CD that can play on a regular CD system?
-- Let's Get Ripped
DEAR RIPPED: I love it when you FBI guys write in trying to get me to instruct people in the felonious art of copyright infringement. Don't you have enough on your hands, digging up dirt on Michael Moore or trying to get the goods on that Chalabi guy? By the way, better late than never on that little goof- up.
But, since everybody seems to interpret the Digital Millennium Copyright Act according to their own circum" stances, I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk theory. First of all, it is patently wrong to steal music or movies. If you borrow somebody's copy of "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" and rip it off, not only is your taste highly questionable, but you've cheated the movie studio and everyone involved in the film out of their piece of the pie. And if you sell or distribute the bootleg, you can expect a visit from Bob Mueller's goons.
Some people argue that you should be able to make a backup of a CD or DVD, and I wholeheartedly agree, especially after I left the iron a little too close to a copy of "Apocalypse Now." Unfortunately, the DMCA makes it illegal to circumvent copy protection -- even if I have the legal right to make a copy of material I purchased -- so I'm out another 17 bucks, and Francis Ford Coppola is that much richer.
Likewise, I may have the right to make a copy of a music CD so I can play it in both my car and house, but if the original was copy- protected, it's a crime to make the copy. Aaaarrrrgh! My head hurts.
