So...Steve-with-the-long-hair...explain something to me...
Lets say that I want to make a single copy of a DVD that I have purchased. Just for the sake of example, lets say the DVD is "Pirates of the Carribbean". I want to make this copy so that I can convert it to a format that will play on my Sony Clie. I understand that making this copy is considered legal under the "individual fair use rights". It seems to me to be a classic example of a Catch-22 if the courts make it illegal for 321 Studios to sell me software that will make it possible for me to produce this copy. __________________
