Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 In The Netherlands, there's an actual law that allows you to rip or copy media you own for personal use. So yes, it's quite alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yes. The government also taxes you whenever you buy recordable media or a device that allows you to copy stuff, like a DVD-burner. It's called the thuiskopieheffing. True story.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I had no problem ripping Attack of the Clones. I think I downloaded the first Chronicles of Narnia right after buying it, though. Couldn't get past the copy protection on that one. Bloody ridiculous.

Manakin Skywalker 4,892 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Here in the states backing up your CDs is basically recommended. All CDs and a lot of DVDs don't even have any type of copy protection. Windows Media Player actually automatically rips CDs in lossless FLAC or WAV files when you put a CD in your computer (obviously you can turn that feature off though). I had no idea it was so hard for people in other countries to rip something as simple as a CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Yeah considering CD players are nearly obsolete, I didn't realize you couldn't rip it to a hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,042 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It would be utter lunacy to create - let alone enforce - a policy against ripping music you've bought legally. Purchasing the album gets you the physical object itself, plus the right to privately enjoy the data stored in it. What difference does it matter if you transfer that information to another system in order to do so? Is this a thing anywhere?

I had no idea it was so hard for people in other countries to rip something as simple as a CD. Nearly all commercial film DVDs are copy protected. Music DVDs often aren't (or at least that's how it used to be). The difference is, DVD's CSS description has been deemed so weak that cracking it isn't forbidden anymore. As far as I know, the US were the first country to actually make cracking copy protection even for personal use illegal. I think companies have pretty much given up on CD copy protection after several root kit debacles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Why would it be against the law to copy a CD for your own digital library, but not to buy a digital download on iTunes, Amazon etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,688 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's either still illegal, or only very recently made legal, to rip a CD for personal use, in the UK. Just that no one would ever conceive of actually enforcing it. My CD of the first Narnia score has some sort of copy protection, which thwarted whatever extraction software I used at the time. The makers of the CD were trying to make the CD only rippable into what I assume were DRM'd files. I probably wouldn't have a problem now (I use CDex now), but back then, I had to get my brother to rip it and then burn a regular audio CD.
