I've a problem. Recently I have got Beyonce's a DVD-disk «I Am... World Tour» also wanted to copy it for the younger sister. However when I have tried to copy it that on the TV screen there was inscription COPY PROTECTED. I have paid almost $20 and my property I can do this disk with it that I want as have paid to the legal owner. Now one I sit at night and I try to give a gift to the sister, but I understand that my gift she won't wait. Please advise as to solve my problem, I have been assured that at someone it too.

HI

Sadly by doing what you wish to do is breaking the copyright law (most countries abide by this, some more than others), while you bought the DVD, it is not to do with as you wish, as when you bought it you enter a legal agreement in usage, this tends to show at the end of a DVD or is on the back of the case.

Here at Majorgeeks we do not condone the copying of disks that have copyright on them as its illegal, so you will not get advise here I'm afraid.

I'm one for Fair Usage rights but you are not using your copy of DVD for this purpose, which is generally to allow you to back said media up or to say add a DVD to a HDD media server in digital format, more you are wanting to copy this and give it away to someone who doesnt have a copy, which is stopping the media studios from making the sale of that DVD, thus illegal.

Please do not start a new thread on this same topic, cheers and sorry that on this occasion we cannot help in this endevour.
