    why do they make dvdr's if......

    ......ok i'm a little confused.

    i rented 'Kingdom of Heaven' and as i begin to watch it, i notice they have an add after you hit play that warns you not to pirate movie.. and went on to flash things about not downloading movies cos its illegal for all ages.

    my question is.. if these movie companies have megamatrillionz of $dollars$ cant they just shut down the dvdr industry?

    they try to deter us from downloading movies, but then there's an add in the paper for dvdr's on sale at some store, somewhere, usa.

    its a catch 22 really. they tell you they will fine you up $250,000.00 for duplicating this film.
    a bit steep no?

      dvdrs are not just for copying movies jibby, even backing up large mounds of data from hard drives....

          That's like asking why the music industry doesn't put a stop to personal audio players or CDRs. The reason the movie industry didn't go after DVDRs goes back to the late 70s/early 80s and their failed attempt at eliminating VCRs.

              i still am not even sure if its possible to make an exact duplicate of a dvd anyway. i've never tried it but from what i've heard you lose 5.1 sound, some picture quality, as well as menu titles/extra features. but maybe it's changed.

                  ^^ you dont lose anything other than the quality of the sound and video due to compression if its on a single layered DVD, you dont lose squat on dual layered

                          funny thing is, i have had some dvds that i will try to rip and it wont work anyway... im sure there is a way around it, but i cant be arsed to look for it, so if they really dont want it ripped, there should be some form of protection...

                                  buy law. you are allowed to make 1 copy of all digital data. that includes dvds, cds, etc.

                                  aka backup.
