Copying a movie you purchased (that act itself) is clearly not theft.
Violation of fuzzy, poorly-defined, badly written legislation
purchased by corporate interests? Yes, it is that.
If someone gets their morals from what is legal, then I'd submit
that's a BIG part of what is demonstrably wrong with the processes as
they are implemented today.
It's legal for a business to declare bankruptcy and forget about the
money people have paid into pensions for retirement funds, for
example. Would you call that morally allowable? I think not...
Anyway. It's certainly possible to put most DVDs on your mac for
your personal use, although it's a little easier with Windows
software. Hope that helps the original guy out!
