Dear All:
I'm curious to know whether any of you are exercising fair-use rights to
material on DVD by means of analog reconversion (running an analog out
from your DVD player to a hardware analog/digital converter (ADC), and
from there into a hard-drive via 1394 or other bus technology.
You're outputting an analog, not digital signal, so the strictures
against cracks like DeCSS don't seem to apply. I can't see a legal
problem with this (as long as you're keeping within fair use guidelines)
... or am I missing something obvious?
BTW, I've done a little reading on the ARDG (Analog Reconversion
Discussion Group), who released a report but no recommendations in
January of this year. It's very interesting indeed.
Thoughts? If you don't feel comfortable replying on-list, please
address comments to me directly.
a.
