Rincewind Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Like it mattered to most anyways. It would not be feasible to enforce an anti-ripping law anyways. Ripping for personal use legal or not either way it is a law that not even 0.000001% would ever be prosecuted for.
Rincewind Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 "Copyright law needs change for it to be ignored properly, says review" "A government review has recommended that outdated copyright legislation should be reformed so that it can be properly brushed aside in the 21st century." http://newsthump.com/2011/05/19/copyright-law-needs-change-for-it-to-be-ignored-properly-says-review/ I love this site by the way...
dbminter Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 We have stupid laws in this town, too. For instance: It it illegal to keep an ice cream cone in your back pocket on a Sunday. It is illegal for a woman to purchase a hat without first consulting with her husband. I remember reading one about a landlocked State where it was illegal to own a whale. And one in Oklahoma, I think, where it was on the books in a city that one must tie up their car to a horse hitching post while it's idle.
