Is it legal to make DVD copies of VHS for yourself?
does anyone- especially copywrite law lawyers- know if it is legal by federal law to make a copy of, say, a Disney movie that you own in VHS format by burning it onto a DVD disc? This would be for your own use, not distribution to others.
My wife and I have a wager on this- winner gets a trip to AC while the loser babysits.
if it IS legal, why can you not copy software programs? Are movies considered entertainment-similar to music- while software you may not really "own"?
if it is NOT legal,why is it different than music?
