I've been asking around recently and I'm a little unsure of something.
Also, long story short I've been wanting to rent DVDs and just upload them to my hard drive, aka having an external hard drive JUST for DVD use. Then I weighed out my options and realized if I just copied them to DVDRs vs buying an external hard drive it would be much cheaper... Plus the fact that if that hard drive were to die, then what? All those movies, gone.
So, I started thinking about just buying a burner and copying them. I've heard mixed opinions about the legality of these things.
So, questions are as followed. What's legal? What isn't?
-Uploading DVDs to hard drive.
-Directly copying a rented/store bought DVD to another blank DVDR and keeping it for personal use only.
-Directly copying a rented/store bought DVD and handing that DVD over to my girlfriend for her keeping, being she is away at college and has no means of income to buy herself movies to watch when she has free time.
-Directly copying a rented/store bought DVD, standing outside wal mart luring people to my trunk to show them what I have available for purchase.
