/me inserts DVDs into DVD-ROM drive
/me starts DVD Decryptor
/me Rips DVD.

Hear that? That's the sound of 100% legality.

No, it's the sound of "they haven't caught you yet".

No, it's the sound of, "I'm in Canada. What's the DMCA, eh?"

No, it's the sound of, "OMG in a few years the only AMVs ever made will be from Hakura, DokiDoki and Vlad."

Then again...they all make good videos so

Although that probably means a bunch of romance, comedy and drama videos.

Forget the Brits? Why would I do that? :whistles away:

Alright fine so Hakura, DokiDoki, Vlad and Ian. Wow, now that I look at it, those foreigners make some really good videos.

On topic - Personally I only use fansubbed footage when it's the only footage available. Which means it's from a recent series or one that hasn't been distributed here. Anyway I fully intend to remaster them once/if the dvd's ever are available. So basically downloaded anime is a last resort.

Off topic - Trythil I was skimming one of those links you provided and I was wondering if this

Nonprofit library, archive and educational institution exception
(section 1201(d)). The prohibition on the act of circumvention of
access control measures is subject to an exception that permits
nonprofit libraries, archives and educational institutions to circumvent
solely for the purpose of making a good faith determination as to
whether they wish to obtain authorized access to the work.

Could be used to argue that the org is legal

Mind you this legal documentation is darn confusing

Thank you; that's what I meant to say, but the blinding rage at the cheap-ass whiners makes me run on too long. 8)

Anyway, yes. *thumbsup*

No, because of the OTHER law that AMVs break, which is that nobody else but the copyright owner of a work can authorize a derivative work. The only "legal" AMV is one that (a) uses totally original audio and video or (b) has secured permission from copyright holders. Even then, if you ripped the footage from DVDs or defeated Macrovision, you could still be charged under the DMCA.

God bless America, my home sweet home.
