Think about that -- it is a federal crime to crack the DRM. It's merely a civil offense to redistribute the music. One goes on your record, the other doesn't. WTF?!

Get it outta your head that this'll ever be legal guys... It won't.
If it ever becomes legal, i'm going to a blockbuster and taking every copy of every dvd home, ripping it on the pc, cutting a scene out and putting new music behind it. Then putting it online as a "new" movie.

You certainly have a high opinion of what goes into AMVing

Certainly there is room and reasonable ways for defining remix-art as distinct and tolerable - and it's not like we're trying to make bucks off of that either.
