Technically I’m half right and half wrong (I think). It’s not illegal to backup media that one owns, but it is illegal to break DRM/copy protection which is required to rip most physical media these days.
Suffice to say the legality of it is a cluster fuck, but the morality, in my opinion, is pretty clear. Fuck the corpos.
But it is legal in the country he lives in as well as the country YouTube is headquartered in.
That just sounds like a worse station wagon. Which, being the owner of a Subaru Outback station wagon, I can confirm.
You don’t sound like a very pleasant person to try and have a constructive conversation with.
Did it in my mid 20s before it was all the rage. Couldn’t be happier.
You are allowed to record content like a broadcast though, which makes me wonder if that means that ripping is illegal, but piping it through a capture card isn’t?
