Grammatical correction: The MPAA says that you MAY not convert your DVD’s but–as we all know–you certainly CAN! The only reason this has come to their attention is that someone has tried to make a business of it. The fact is that with FREE software available all over the net you CAN do this. And it’s very likely that you always will be able to do it. Copy protection is the ultimate exercise in futility: if you can see it and hear it it CAN be copied plain and simple.

what makes this more funny is when you consider that sony made the PSP with movie watching capabilities. so even though i wasnt being a pirate when i was watching my own DVDs while standing in line for the Wii it still was illegal because they say so.

oh hey! this would be a great avenue of attack for a counter suit! sony is advocating piracy with the PSP which is clearly illegal!
