Robotech DVDs don't even have the simplest kind of copyright on them, you can just rip them straight from dvd! :lol: wonder why that is... I mean ADVs other stuff isn't like that and, as an americanized anime, Robotech should be MORE copyrighted... maybe cuz it's a digital reconvention (er whatever) any other ideas or dvds like it?

<another random thought that has a little to do with the conversation brought to you by Sub0>

Simple.... Low prices for DVDs!

Hec, make them cheap enough and it still makes the money since more will buy them and less will feel it's worth going through the hassle of copying... Sure there are those who still will, but like anything, you can't eliminate it completely.....

I doubt companies would do that. After all, everything is run by the dollar. They're going to try and make as much money off DVDs and CDs as they can. Besides, I think more money is lost in theaters, where people bring in camcorders and tape new movies. That way people can download a movie that's still out in theaters and not have to pay to go see it. Granted, the quality is the equivalent of running an aluminum foil cone in the groove of an LP, but the general publc doesn't care. They just want to be able to see the movie and hear the audio. They're not movie connoisseurs, and they're certainly not using to as source footage for anything. How many of you have a large collection of movies on VHS that you taped off the TV? Same idea pretty much.

Yes, but your thinking only of the true die hard fans and people like us. The avarage person can't be bothered with tapign things and keeping them. They would rather just but the box set or wait till it comes out. True, greed is the problem here by the companies, but then again if TV series box DVD box sets keep comming out like some are for under $60 - $ 70, then peopel will but them....

Copy protection sucks. But there is a way to get around it. What they do is they create a corupted file in the CD that when you try to Copy or Rip, it messes up the entire thing.
But there is a way to get around that. All you do is rip it bit by bit. It's and only way and takes a LONG time to rip (about 2 days I think). You have to be their for every part of the process because you need to skip that file when it appears.
Sucks doesn't it
