DVD Ripping

[MarkHaysHarris777]

I agree it shouldn't be that big of a deal. He is accomplishing it with his own DVD's, not Redbox, Friends DVD's, etc. People rip CD's and DVD's all the time.

Yes, you're probably correct;  it really depends on whether the DVD(s) are protected by DRM, and whether the MiniDlna is used according to law;  96% if the time MiniDnla is not used legally.  The reason that its not any more serious for people is that its one of those things that is hard to enforce;  there is just too much of it going on all the time for enforcement to be effective;  this may be a good thing !

My primary point overall is that I don't think its wise to announce publicly the intent to replicate and share DVD(s);  the context is just too volatile and the risks are possibly serious.  The issue is not about how much you can get away with , or whether you can claim fair use as plausible deniability.   Plausible deniability goes only so far.
