Nothing personal, but man, the only time you ever seem to post (you have 138 posts spread around here somewhere over the 14.5 months that you've been a member) is when you're talking about file-sharing or pirating CDs or DVDs...
:wtf:
Don't you ever BUY anything? :eek: :dunno:

Memorex, TDK, CompUSA, and whatever other recordable-media producing companies are laughing all the way to the bank, while musicians and actors (and everyone involved in the production of copywritten media) is getting ass-raped because some dishonest, cheap, "self-entitled," low-life, leeching pirate(s) are significantly and artificially increasing the price of the media that we HONEST people PAY FOR at stores.
DVDs cost about $2 to produce, start to finish. Add in marketing, promotion, and distribution, and they're about $6 - sames goes for compact discs. The retailer has a profit margin as well, but there's no fucking reason that a DVD should sell for $25. Well, there IS a reason - piracy.
Mass-produced media (huge, blockbuster movies and music CDs) take an enormous financial hit, but because their distribution is so massive, they can still sell a CD/DVD for about $15 and make a profit. Titles by bands and movie houses with less distribution power are getting more and more expensive for honest consumers.

Piracy is bullshit. It's THEFT. So is file-sharing.
People (from the guy getting coffee for the director of a movie, to the director and producer, and all of the stars and actors, and everyone in-between [same goes for music and other entertainment media, like videogames and books, etc.]) need to be paid for the work that they do, for their time, and for their talent(s).

Who said I'm pirating!!!! I'm a media student, I need to have access to material from my PC! I didn't say I was copying Films either!

Whatever - you said that you were "ripping" a DVD. "Ripping" means ripping off, a.k.a. STEALING. Why bother copying a CD/DVD for which you've paid? Look at your prior posts (and threads which were closed), degenerate. Warez, file-sharing, etc...
Thanks for the negative rep. for my post, by the way. :nanner:
Cheers. :hatsoff:

Chill Out Nightfly! For starters, dvd's and cd's were WAY overpriced BEFORE piracy was a problem! Because the greedy bastards want to be multi-millionaires intstead of millionaires and billionaires instead of multi-millionaires,
THAT'S why dvd's and cd's cost so damn much!
Now, if I like a movie, I'll buy it. Same goes for music. I also have software to copy both. I have a 3 year old who likes to play with everything. I got tired of replacing his movies after he scratched them all up, so AFTER buying them, I copy them so he doesn't ruin the original! It also helps to edit out all the previews and menus so the movie or cartoon plays without him having to wait ten minutes!
Is this software abused, YES! but not everyone uses it illegally!

Making backup copies for yourself, of things that you've actually purchased, is one thing, but in the case-in-point (review post history), this guy wants advice on how to circumvent the restrictions in the duplication of protected copywritten material, IMO. That's piracy.
People can say that CDs and DVDs are over-priced. Why do you think that many of the inflated prices exist? It's because asshole thieves file-share and copy music and films for their friends, and those people never buy the actual, official product, depriving the company/musicians/actors etc. who worked to make the CDs/DVDs out of their royalties.
The "bottom line" is that piracy and file "sharing" are BOTH theft, not justifiable in any way, and just because current technology enables us to do it with relative ease doesn't make it right or honorable.
Theft is deplorable. I used to be a thief - I used Napster, when it first started, but I thought about what I was doing, and as an artist myself realised that I was a huge hypocrite. I no longer file-share, unless it's something for which I've been given permission for which to do. I work too fucking hard to have my work-product stolen by some pimple-faced kid with a PC, a hard-on, an iPod, and a CD or DVD burner and a high-speed internet connection.
It's called piracy. It's illegal. It's not ethical. People who say that media is "over-priced" are the very same people who are downloading and file-sharing the stuff, depriving companies of profits, and thereby increasing the cost to honest consumers who are actually willing to pay for the media content.

The good old argument of the selfproclaimed modern Robin Hoods.
If a product is too expensive for your tastes, do the unspeakable and ... like... you know... DON´T BUY IT instead of constructing some sort of moral right to copy and share it as much as you want.
Or if you have to copy stuff, then at least admit that you don´t care, but stop hiding behind the phantom of being a freedom fighter against the evil capitalist music/software industry, rendering you as the victim.

I can't improve on what Nightfly or bibo has said, but I can agree with it 100%.
Thanks for the constructive help HERO2, thats community spirit!!
Nightfly for your information dvd ripping is pretty essential when studying Media, I'm trying to put together a montage of clips of Nick Broomfield's work for a presentation, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't see this as 'piracy and like anyone would be flattered that his work is deemed important enough to be studied! So before you get on your high horse next time why don't you leave it to people with technical knowledge to help out others in our little community we have here!!

Don't expect me to be as polite in addressing the negative rep point I just received from this person.:ban:
incivility??
Thanks also for the Negative rep I received prior to that!!
Thanks also for the Negative rep I received prior to that!!
I've just been reading these 'responses' and some of the 'wise' words in the neg rep thats been thrown my way by some of the self appointed authorities on here and I just wandered if NightFly could lend me some of his technical know-how as to how I'd go about digitally creating and editing a show reel, montage of documentary footage I own on dvd without the use of dvd ripping material. Your help would be invaluable NightFly..... Merci.

Oh, well, hell, degenerate_Jeb, I can answer that question for you as easily as I scratch my ass. There's no need to try and call out Nightfly.
See, there's this software package suite called DVD Studio Pro. You Might want to have an Apple Mac G3 or higher, though, in order to be able to make effective use of its features.
Here ... allow me to generously provide you with a review of the software suite:
> http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1631272,00.asp
Also ... You Might need a software-specific video editing keyboard to go with it, too:

And finally, it's a simple thing called "Google":

You asked a question based upon something that is illegal and we all responded in a polite manner without flaming you. If you can't handle simple criticism, then I don't know what to tell you.
It's a necessary fact of life, so deal with it.
I gave you that negative REP because you ARE being argumentative and whiny. We're all entitled to our opinions and, quite frankly, what you asked and what you implied is indicative of 'ripping', (i.e., illegally obtaining - and EDITING - works created by others.)
As for "self-apointed authorities"??? Um yeah, speaking solely for myself ... I'm smart that way. I can speak to you on just about any level you so desire, from the most mundane to the highly esoteric and complex ... and so can quite a few other folks on here; specifically those who have posted in this thread.
Cheers!! :hatsoff: :thumbsup:

Now I'm dumb when it comes to technology but I never thought the phrase "ripping a dvd" meant stealing it. I thought it meant the same as "burning", "Copying", "cloning", "cut and paste". Yes that can be construed as illegaly pirating, but it can also mean making a legal back-up... basically taking from one media and saving it to another. If you want to get technical on "terms" and "phrases"... then one could say this website... "Freeones"... implies file sharing.
Now if degenerate has numerous posts all on the issues of file sharing or pirating (which you claim and I have no reason to disbelieve, I'm just too lazy to search for them to see for myself) then I can see your point... but to focus on terminology alone doesn't make the case.
Just my humble opinion:2 cents:
This place is like some back woods, dirt water southern U.S. town!! Theres a certain clique here that have appointed themselves the mayors and are all related!!
You (you know who you are) are message board fascists who gain no respect during their day to day working life so must come onto a message board and try to regain any shred of self worth that you can by censoring others and imposing your own views on us.
AsianxxxChick, I find your views on the expression of opinions quite strange as I have now had 3 neg reps from you, one for saying a pornstars breasts looked weird, which I would have thought was my own opinion but which quite obviously didn't fit with your own.
I have a few instructions for NightFly, AsianxxxChick and Juballs....
1. Print off your piss poor signatures...
2. Screw it it into a ball...
3. Push it into your anus.
I'm sure that alot of the clique will be offended by this but I'm sure alot of people will secretly or otherwise agree with me when I say that people like you on message boards are like urine in wine!!
