U.S. Copyright Office Says No DVDs on iPods
Sunday, November 26th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
New copyright exemptions go into effect in the United States on November 27, but the proposed exemptions to allow copying commercial DVDs to portable media players, like Apple's iPod, were rejected. Even though consumers won't be allowed to copy DVDs for personal use, film professors can use software to copy movie clips from the discs for educational use.
The blind can now use applications that hack into and read copy protected books, and its also okay to crack the software on cell phones so they can be used with other carrier services.
Consumers have been operating outside the law when copying DVDs to their computers so they can watch movies on iPods and other portable media players. In contrast, they have been able to copy music CDs for some time now. Movie studios, however, have been strongly opposed to copying films for fear of losing revenue.
The new copyright exemptions are in effect for three years. Additional information about the exemptions is available at the U.S Copyright Web site.
