DVD copy protection

Tweet

Somebody posted a question asking if anyone knew how to over-ride copy protection on a DVD? I told him a Google search would turn up a lot of possibilities. I also told him it is known by another name to some folks: piracy. The discussion was taken down the same day, which is probably a good idea. I don't do it, but I know how. I am certainly not going to give detailed instructions in a public forum as to how to perform a criminal activity. I guess that is how it is done these days. If you want to do something illegal, simply ask online how it should be done and you will get detailed instructions. Do any of the people that do this kind of stuff realize that the content of such a discussion can be used as evidence of criminal intent? If you are in Texas and you tell somebody in Kansas how to commit a crime, you could be considered an accomplice. Why would anybody expose himself in that way in a public forum?
