anydvd-trial expired???

trying to back up new sony movie....did my research and found that dvdd and shrink will not work without anydvd running,so i did some research on anydvd and was extremely impressed in what i read....so i went to download the trial fully expecting to buy it if it allows me to back up lords of dogtown, but once i install it and reboot, it says my trial expired??? never even ran it! any ideas??

 

The trial period of 21 days commences from the date of download, whether you use it or not.

 

AnyDVD is an excelent app. Buy with confidence.

 

Great program, well worth the money.

 

I agree, was hesitant about buying online, but it is an excellent product. But be sure to back up the activation key once you get it. Well worth the money!

 

Owning it would be legal, using it on the other hand.....

 

Just make sure you've got your tin foil hat on and you'll be ok!

 

It is legal to make copys of copy protected meterial that you Own (buy). (Fair use Act)

but

It is agaisnt the law to OWN or SELL programs that curcumvent copy protection on copyrighted meterial in the United Sates.

Its kinda like in some states it is legal to grow and have municipal marijuana but it is agaisnt federel law. So if a county or state cop pulls you over they cant do nothing about it. But if a federel agent does you can go to prison.

The great laws of the USA.

 

Hi Larrylje

That's interesting... Funny actually! And i thought the laws in Britain were weird...

 

what the hell is up with these U.S. laws- they contradict each other.

1. It is illegal to own and distriubute copyprotection circumventing tools.

2. You have a right to backup your movies.

if i can't own the tools to backup, then how can i have my right?

 

Incase anyone is intrested below is the law on The Digital Millennium Copyright Act that congress signed into law on October 28, 1998

This is the reason why 321 Studios is in litigation in the USA. Cause of the circumvetion part of thier program.

Below is Bills that are currently trying to pass through congress to restore or rights under the "Fair Use Act"

If it isn't legal to buy and own, will that stop you from getting it?
I think that's more important...

 

You can buy it... But if you get caught using it, you're in trouble.

 

Does it really matter? Because, honestly, how many people in this forum, and god knows how many others, have it?

 

Listen, if you want to buy it, buy it. If you want to use it, use it! Now, stop hijacking this thread and don't write in capitals!
You already double posted this Freaking question before!

 

not trying to peeve anyone, and sorry for the double post...just trying to get a straight answer thats all.
