Yes
Anybody got the DVD box set of liveAid! My wife asked me to dig it out for some queen reminiscing and I'm missing the 2nd DVD!! Which basically has all the good bands on!
My question is if you do, could I get a copy!!

That wouldn't be exactly legal now would it? ;)
 
I thought they did away with copyright for personal use, they were certainly speaking about passing legislation for it some time ago.

I believe that personal use extends to copying to playing in the car for personal use, not making a copy to pass to someone else.

Grey area admittedly ;)

Exactly.
Giving away said copy is the no no. :-)

It's not really a grey area. Making a copy of something you've licensed for personal use to distribute is clearly a breach of the licence.

Grey inasmuch as I leave that copy of the CD in the car, then someone else drives my car and listens to that CD
Technically I've distributed it, but its with in my private property.
 
I am betting 99.9% of the good folk on here do so as such, but won't as dumb to admit having done so... Photoshop CS6 anyone? (I lost my disc!) ;-)

Isn't that similar to having mates round to watch a DVD? which is different to selling tickets and filling your front room with punters, ie private vs public performance.

aaanywaaay! Back to the OP; yes I have the box set of Live Aid, No I have no software to copy said DVD :)
 
which is different to selling tickets and filling your front room with punters,
Then obviously an entertainment licence would be required, but I see no mention of payment, from the OP just asking a "friend" to pass them a copy.
The same way that I wouldn't charge someone for listening to a copy in my car.
As I said grey area ;)

That copy would have to be passed on a temporary basis. (As it is if someone borrows your car)

The Copyright and Rights in Performances (Personal Copies for Private Use) Regulations were made much less grey in 2014 ;)

F****n' smart @arses:rolleyes:. I meant somebody could have loaned him the DVD and he could have copied it for his own use. Keep up nuggetso_O:D:D:p;)

Now that would definitely be a breach of the law. ;)
Gotta be the owner of the original copy in order to make a ripped copy for personal use :p

Have fun at Madness...sounds like a fine way to spend the evening!
 
So ripping DVDs for personal use is now legal?

If you own the original (either bought or as a gift) then you can make a copy for personal use, backup or archive.
It can be lent to another on a temporary non reward basis, but that person cannot keep it or make a copy of their own.
You can't make a copy of anything you have rented or borrowed.

Unless it's changed, then lending a DVD to someone is also technically not allowed. :)

It did change Marcel.
You can lend it, on a temporary basis, and for no reward.
The borrower however can't make a copy.

In practice, of course, it's impossible to police.
 
I'll have to do some more looking at ripping software to get a few fillums onto a stick for the tablet - great way to make the flights fly by!

If you have the original copy (so to speak), you're golden. :-)
 
You could argue that as he has already bought the DVD, he is just mitigating his loss!


Steve.

Not in court you couldn't lol
You see, he's not breaking the law.
The person sending the copy is. :-)
 
However, we're missing two important facts:

1. No one is going to know.

2. No one is going to care.

Apart from the fact its all over an internet forum with 60,000+ members.
:D
 
Yes... apart from that!

However, there is no evidence that it has been done and who is mjb123? Difficult to take legal action against something which looks more like a car numberplate than a person's name!

The reality is that getting a copy of something you already owned but have lost is no real loss to the copyright owners. I really wouldn't worry about it.


Steve.
 
Pretty much why I said impossible to police :-)
 
I really wouldn't worry about it.
I don't but being TP we just have to be outraged at thought of pirated "software" :D
Which reminds me of this..

Jesus came across an adulteress crouching in a corner with a crowd around her preparing to stone her to death.
Jesus stopped them and said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

Suddenly a woman at the back of the crowd fired off a stone at the adulteress,
It hits her straight between the eyes, knocking her unconscious!

Jesus stands there, hands on hips, turns to the woman as say's
MOTHER! sometime you really p*** me off!
 
I'm wondering why anyone would want to listen to the whole thing in the first place. :hungover: :D

Mind you, I was never at all a big fan of 80's music anyway.

I would tend to agree. It's probably not worth the time or effort to investigate and prosecute this kind of thing. They're more interested on people who are doing it at scale than folk passing on a copy of "disc 2 of Live Aid" to an acquaintance as a favour.
Anyway, the whole show is easily available on YouTube.

Not sure when I first heard it TBH, but I suspect it may have been a lot earlier than that :D
