trekzone 0 Posted August 29, 2003 In an AIM conversation with Syperphobia, the topic of copyright laws in regards to episode copying, the MP3 versions available on KaZaa (note: i dont download them)... Now I know people (even i do) copy onto VHS and DVD from the TV, so whats the difference between this and the digital version???? I would like to know, any thoughts?

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted August 29, 2003 Truthfully I don't see a difference, but I believe there are laws (here in the US) that say there is a difference. Of course one difference would be the ability to transfer digital media with greater ease then video tape. You can download an AVI but you can't download a VHS. You can download an MP3 but you can't download an audio cassette taped from the radio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredbroca 0 Posted August 30, 2003 I am now putting in voyager ep. from vhs to vcd so I will have a hard copy that won't wear away I don't think this is ileagle as they come from tapes that I allready own and was on tv. Now getting something off the internet I can see why they don't like it as in music only one person is buying it and passing it around but I don't think it should be bad to download like a tv show as it was free to star out with but movies then you go into the buying thing again.
