I barley download any Movies and TV Shows at the Moment. Most Video's I download are off Youtube.
I also just buy my DVD's from Cash Conveters and 2nd Hand Stores Now
Movie Tickets just keep getting more Expensive so make it Harder to Justify going to the Theatre to Watch a Movie.
Companies need to Adapt and not Just Refuse to catch up with Technology and Just Blame Piracy for Everything that does not go right for the Movie |
It's either Cashies or eBay for me, sometimes if I am given DVDs I already have I trade them in at this movie store in Glenorchy. Though they are selling a lot of movies for 2 dollars there so I am not sure I am going to get much value for the ones I have to trade in this time around. But it's worth a shot to see what I can get and get rid of a few. |
I picked up season 1-4 of heroes and season 1-4 of arrow on eBay this morning for a total of $9.50, pick up from werribee. I've nearly finished Hawaii 5 O so I need something for the gym!

That reminds me of a related question that few of us would ever consider: is selling and buying DVDs secondhand a technical breach of copyright restrictions (or, at least, would they be if distributors got their way)? I'm pretty sure the copyright warnings at the beginning of DVDs prohibit unauthorised reselling.

It is illegal. So was taping records many years ago. Again a cost benefit analysis on taking someone to court in Australia would deem the associated costs involved and at the end of the day you would have no real benefit would result in the decision to make it not viable. |

it's not illegal to re-sell second hand copyrighted material provided it was created and acquired legally.
If you make a copy of it, you are required to keep the original and not sell it.
In the US they have a first sale law that once you buy something, the copyright is done.
So you can legally sell second hand DVD's, CD's, and books.

I don't think you can make a Back-Up without Permission. Which is Plain Stupid.

Fair use allows you to copy music onto a digital device, provided you keep the original CD. Not sure about DVD's

| Yes, it extends to DVDs - it does NOT extend to games. Why, no one knows. |
