While that *may* be technically true, in some circumstances, that
doesn't stop you from being automatically identified and punished as an
illegal downloader.  If your country or ISP punishes movie downloaders
from non-legal *sources*, I wouldn't do that.

As far as Thomas is concerned, I haven't tried this with copyguarded
DVDs, but if you can play the disc with something like VLC, it can
stream what it can play to a file.  The stream should be the decoded
version, not the scrambled data directly from the disc.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
