  • It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM).

    DVDs have copy protection.

    It’s also how it is perfectly legal to borrow DVDs from your local library and rip those, too.

    You got a source on that? I don't think that falls under fair use.

    However, the owner of the copy of the book will not be able to make new copies of the book because the first-sale doctrine does not limit the restrictions allowed by the copyright owner's reproduction right.

  • In the US, because of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, it is illegal to defeat any sort of digital copy protection. That's why it's ok to rip CDs to your iPod, but you can't rip DVDs to your computer.

  • It would cost like $1k for some YouTuber to buy a few burner android phones, slap prepaid sims in them, and then talk to them about their love of Hyundai and protein powder. It would blow the whole lid off whatever conspiracy were all just resigning ourselves to.

    Such an easy thing to test and yet there’s zero evidence that it’s happening. At least the way people assume.
