Section 1201

Question

I've recently come across a situation where people are ripping DVDs they own to a digitized format in Roku. I'm providing the link at the end of this question. My concern is how is this possible? Primarily intended for personal use but I can see where this could expand out to a slippery slope where it is then more individuals get copies, etc.

Answer

“Slippery slope,” indeed.  The member has identified a battleground in the “1201 wars.”
