Do Not Discuss the removal of Protected BD files here

[azrieluk]

Oh come now are you really saying that if someone wants to copy a Blu-Ray that the only reasonable explanation is for reasons of piracy?

What about all those people with a Home Theatre PCs who simply want to copy the content onto their HD for the purposes of convenience and to remove the dependancy on a scratchable media and the cleanliness of an optical lense. It makes plenty of sense that people will want to place a copy on their HDD for the purposes of ease, convenience and reliablity. And as far as I am aware there is nothing illegal about it (as long as you do not remove the encryption) and you retain the original media.

To say that it will be "will be viewed as possible or probable piracy attempts" is tantamount to censorship.

Very disappointed in the capitulation to the mass hysteria of the public media and large corporate organisations. At the end of the day until someone copies a film and distributes/changes it, no law has been broken. Also talking about it is by definition not illegal, and when the subject matter is not in itself condoning or promoting the illegal aspects of how the practice can be miss-used, it seems somewhat over-reactive to sensor the discussions.

But it is your forum so you do as you see fit, just thought I'd share my views.
