Story: Judge rules DVD-copying program is illegal

Maybe its about time they realised that the more they attack legitimate users, the more they are going towards more acts that are deemed 'illegal'. People will still copy DVDs for their own use, because they see it as morally justifiable. Making this harder just means that they will go to greater lengths to do so e.g. downloading the DVD's contents from the net. The same is happening with CDs; by making these 'copy-protected' CDs that won't play on anything but a CD player, peer-to-peer music downloads are more likely to rise, as people will simply have no other way of using the music they have __purchased__ in any other way.
