Hi

I have recently bought a DVD writer for the sole purpose
of backing up my DVD collection. I was suprised to find
that some of them were copy protected. The reason I want
to copy is because my 4 year old likes watching her
disney movies but also like throwing around the DVDs like
a frisbee. Can some one please suggest how i can get
round the copy protection as i want to copy legitimately
bought DVDs for my personal use only. Please help
Many thanks

Hello

Well you that's why the company copy-protected their
software(movies) for that very reason so that peolpe can not
be copying their stuff. Their are other programs and utilities
out ther for.

asking this type of question on a public newsgroup (especially a Microsoft
newsgroup) where your ip is logged, you are either asking for a knock on the
door or going fishing. Perhaps you will find more help if you learn to use a
search engine and go look for it.

google.com search "how do i copy a protected dvd?" yielded about 223,000
Results. Search took 0.18 seconds

IMHO start reading, and have a nice day ;)

Hello

This is not the place to post this type of question ok, copy-right
protection means don't copy ok.
