“Judge: DVD Copying Software is Illegal”

That’s right. Making legal backups of your DVDs is now officially illegal. I’m sure the judge has a rich understanding of technology and experience to make such a decision.

Some things just make me shake my head and think; what is wrong with people. That whole fair use thing is so inconvenient, we need something like the DMCA to do an end run around fair use and squash such freedoms dead.

I can only hope this is challenged repeatedly in court.
