Who is talking piracy? All the media I have was purchased.


You likely broke some form of law (depending on the media and your jurisdiction) in the process.

While laws like the DMCA exist I don’t see the point in buying a film and ripping it, as I’m breaking the law just as much as not buying it and downloading it.


Since I can't answer your last one directly:

>"Your inability to read shows you up"

I did read it. "Likely broke ... law" and "depending on jurisdiction" assumes / hints to that I am in the jurisdiction and this is totally baseless. I think my answer is proper but whatever.


You likely have no clue. I suggest you do some reading in regards to backing up media in Canada (this is where I live).

Hint: it is legal


Your inability to read shows you up

“depending on the media and your jurisdiction”


I am. None of the media I have was purchased.
