Lizzie asks…
Can anyone tell me how to make a copy of a dvd that is copyrighted?
I want to burn copies of my movies to take on a family vacation. I tried using dvd shrink with Nero 7 as someone suggested, but it is not working! Please if anyone can help me, I’m desperate. I have a 10 hour long car ride with 3 kids coming up!!!
first of all I do not believe it is illegal to make a copy of something that you own for your own use. This is not pirating and is no different then making a copy of a cd into a tape. I don’t want to bring the originals because my 6 year old will be in charge of the DVD player and I don’t want them scratched and ruined!
admin answers:
Under the Fair Use Act you can make a legal backup of copyrighted material you own. I for one, take advantage of that because I have children that I do not allow to use the Original CDs or DVDs. They get to use the copied ones. For DVDs I use DVDShrink – you will have to google for a download site because the main site doesn’t host the actual file. DVDShrink is a program itself and I don’t know how you would use it with Nero 7. I have used DVDShrink a lot with out any issues. I know some – like Walt Disney movies sometimes give problems because of a different copy protection, you just have to play around with it. Anyway, hope this helps…

how do i find who is using my ID/credit card # to purchase online memberships and items over the internet?
recently discovered that someone used my maiden name and old address to purchase a membership to an online music site where they could download music and movies. www.musicetc.com doesn’t seem to want to refund my monies. A local police report has been filed, and the FTC have been notified.

Ummm… That doesn’t seem like the Juristiction of the Federal Trade Commitee, but that’s more your business than mine.
As far as IDing the perp, you have two options open to you.
The Tech Resource: This is very simple, but also harbors the greatest chance of inaccuracy. Simple present the ID/cc# to musicetc with the police report number and request cooperation with the case investigation. Your response should come back shortly with something legal sounding in it, because now the company will begin to cover its own ass, this is your chance to request the email and/or ISP that was established with the purchase. Give both pieces of info to the police (hinesight, they’ve probably already done this if they’re persuing your case at all) and they will handle the actually tracing.
The Holmes way: Supposing you don’t have a PO Box and someone didn’t just reach through from behind and take your mail, the only person who would normally have access to your maiden name and cc# are people who know you personally. You’d be suprised how often people who go blind-dating (for example) get scammed out of valuable info (all he has to do is copy it onto a napkin and he’s good to go). Who do you know of that might have or have had access to such information in the past? Chances are this person is either out of touch with you and thus thinks they can get away with it, or has something personal against you.
Either way, you’re dealing with a person who lacks criminal genius because they must surely know that the downloads, as well as the internet activity can be traced from bandwidth logs and unless they’re a hacker (which isn’t verly likely), you’ll see justice served out in no time at all.
Michael asks…
Anyone know a place where I can get these movies?
On Halloween my sister and I want to watch some scary movies, we have the old ones picked out but I need to know where I can find these, other than on amazon because i don’t want to have to buy them.

i can’t seem to find them anywhere…help? Oh and I live in Wisconsin, so if it’s a place in wisconsin that would be awesome.

You could see if http://hulu.com has them, its supported by the film industry, its legal and free (supported by ads).
You could try to get a Blockbuster.com/Netflix.com/Itunes.com account and see if they have them to download. I would search the movies and see if they are available first before you sign up.
You could go to http://surfthechannel.com and look them up, its an illegal site but you don’t have to download anything so the MPAA won’t come after you or anything. They only come after people that download the movies illegally.
Donald asks…
how do i start downloading music on ipoddownloadspro.com?
i dont see any links or anything and i just payed for my account and downloaded all the software.
admin answers:
You’ve more than likely just been scammed into paying for software that is available for free (presumably limewire/frostwire/a bittorrent client), but it is still illegal to use that software (whatever it is) for downloading copyrighted content/music/films:

by all means contact them about the ‘satisfaction guarantee’:

but i can tell you that they aren’t providing anything more legal than any piece of filesharing software out there and mcafee’s site advisor doesn’t have good things to say:
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/ipoddownloadspro.com
legitimate, legal, trustworthy sites do NOT operate on a one-time-fee-download-as-much-as-you-want basis because they would not be making enough to pay the artists and movie companies the royalties they’re legally entitled to.
Robert asks…
Where can I legally and safely download music?
Okay so I wanted to download two songs that are impossible for me to get on iTunes/Rhapsody, so I was wondering if there are any sites I could possibly go to besides Limewire and Bearshare, that are LEGAL and SAFE for me to use. On the other hand, I would like it to have a wider variety of music than iTunes and Rhapsody (Can’t find anything there!) so please, answers would be nice!
