Hi guys!

As a reminder please do not engage in anything that violates a trademark or a copyright of another company including violating the digital millennium copyright act.

Thanks for making the High Def Forum an awesome resource!!!

What about my rights!
What about my right to buy an HDTV that has Component Video inputs and not HDMI or DVI. Then to have Hollywood say that is not good enough. In order to watch HD-DVD or Blue Ray or OAR TV has to have an HDMI and DVI. What about my rights to a fair trial. To not be called a theif by Hollywood becuase my TV does not have an HDMI or DVI. Every early adopter of High Definition televisions is being slandered by hollywood, CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, PBS and everyone that supports the broadcast flag. Because our TVs don't have and HDMI or DVI we are getting screwed.

THEY GAVE UP THERE RIGHTS FOR COPYRIGHT PROTECTION WHEN THEY STOLE FROM ME! PAYBACK WILL COME UNLESS THE FCC, HOLLYWOOD, THE BROADCASTERS OR THE CE MANUFACTURERS BY ME A NEW TV!
I am not going to have my investment belittled by the FCC, Hollywood or anyone else.

every HDTV i have seen so far has component inputs. I have not seen any blu-ray or other devices, my next Video Player will be a Windows Computer, not a stand-alone device, and video cards are still available with a wide array of outputs.

as to any right to make copies of movies, the only court case i know of was the betamax case, which said consumers could tape off the air for their own use. Every instance i have seen where copies of movies or music were shared or rented has not been allowed.

speaking of sharing, do you mind if i come sleep on your living room floor? its not hurting you, you certainly would not consider it stealing, right?

and then once i have your key, ill just post the duplication code so my friends can make their own keys and come over and sleep too.

Is this about pasting too much "intellectual property" from other sites
-usually considered pretty benign-even flattering -
And considering humanity's other ongoing problems - I can't feel a lot of guilt about that - unless someone specifically complains .
OR-
is it a general reminder about posting copy-protection hacks - and other overtly illegal schemes? - comment?

Since no one has posted a comment - I will myself-- here's a paste on copyright rules for this web page http://members.aol.com/ajaynejr/shorts.htm#Copyright

Copyright Notice: (c) Copyright 1997-2001, Allan W. Jayne, Jr.
All material that you see on this web site, unless otherwise indicated, is copyrighted by the author. You may reproduce small quantities of the material provided that you do all of the following: (1) acknowledge the author using footnotes or other appropriate means, (2) reproduce the sentences or paragraphs that you choose in their entirety, unedited, (3) include the above copyright notice in your completed work so as to refer to the material you used, (4) notify the author if you intend to sell your completed work, and (5) on request by the author, send a copy of every edition of the complete work containing the reproduced material to the author postpaid and free of charge.

By "reproducing material in its entirety, unedited" we mean that you may not excerpt several words, skip a few words, then excerpt several more words, then skip a few words, using the chosen material verbatim even with diereses (...) where applicable.

Acknowledging authors is expected to be done comparable to the methods used in published research or technical articles or the way a professor or teacher expects from a student submitting a term paper. This includes footnotes for direct quotations and bibliography entries where the material was paraphrased but largely derived from a particular source. All colleges publish guidelines for acnowledging sources. Although a bibliography entry may still be required, you are encouraged to rewrite material you take from this web site rather than use it unedited, for the purpose of understanding it thoroughly.

This writer generally does not footnote names of well known people (Bill Clinton, Mickey Mantle), names of well known places (Disney World), or trademarks (Coca-Cola, Chevrolet) whether in text or in pictures, when referring to the appropriate person, place or object in a reasonably obvious and correct context.

E-mail addresses of other individuals will not be found on this site unless we believe they gave out this information for publication. But if we mention someone's name whether or not we reproduced material belonging to him/her, we may include a link to an appropriate page of his/her web site if one exists. Most owners of web sites welcome visits as a result of references (click-throughs) in other web sites. Once in a web site, the visitor may or may not find the owner's e-mail address. If the person we named does not have a web site, our visitors wishing to contact that person must first e-mail us and give an e-mail address. We will pass that to the other person who can reply at his/her leisure. Alternatively we will ask the person via e-mail if he wishes to be contacted. Only after the person named gives permission will we pass along his e-mail address to the visitor who inquired.

No it's not about that. It is about stealing movies and other copywrited material.
