Digital Piracy vs Fair Use


Columnist Davis Freeberg tackles the issue of , captures DVDs as they play on your computer and converts them into mpeg4 files that can then be played on an iPod, smart phone, or other video playback device. Recent U.S. legislation makes it illegal to circumvent anti-piracy or DRM measures. "Why Hollywood can't see the profitable business opportunities that the digital landscape provides is beyond my grasp," writes Freeberg. He blames the "A-holes that run Hollywood" for treating consumers like criminals, and refusing to adopt reasonable policies on fair use.

    Get Handbrake!

    $32.95???? Ridicilous of course, when Handbrake does EXACTLY the same, easy and free. Only fools who don't do their research will pay for this.

    Really Sucks is....

    iPod Media c*** only runs on the worlds crappiest OS Windows.

    Mac OS X + Handbrake + FREE = Best choice!
