Over the past few nights I have been going through my old VHS collection looking for rarities, old ads that are amusing now, and anything else perhaps worth preserving. My goal is to rid myself of the bulky old dinosaurs and save their contents before they become totally ruined. If I save the contents to a new format though and toss out the original I am technically breaking copyright though, right? What a scam, I got ripped off a first time for VHS and if I want to get rid of it and still own the content I am forced to buy it again? Fucked up :mad:
History of piracy I have known (and not gained from
) :
- Dual Deck Cassette recorders (before my era)
- VCR...You mean I can record movies off the television and pause out the ads? Fuck YEA!
- Dual Wielding VCR's...You mean if I connect one VCR into another I can make a copy of a new release video or any video that is available when I want it?? FUCKING AYE!
- CD Burners (economically viable)...A new studio CD costs $20 and a pack of blank CD's cost $10? Fuck paying Metallica!
- P2P...Fuck you Lars UlRICH
- DVD Burners...Praise be DVD Shrink
- Torrents...Seed Plz
What's next...I think eBooks will take off in a big way, even though that's a product and not a means of pirating...and Blu Ray of course, yet I don't think it has taken off just yet...I see it picking up momentum soon.

I meant it's going to become more mainstream because of the rise of tablet PC's and hipster scum.
