    Consumers Want To Back Up DVDs-Imagine That!

    Filed under: General VMC News;

    It seems that 90% of consumers think they should be allowed to back up their DVDs as reported by EngadgetHD.  It’s not as though this is a huge surprise to anyone using Media Center but at least we know we’re not the only ones.

    From the article:

    What should be music to the ears of the MPAA though is that 79 percent said they weren’t interested in actually copying DVDs and that 40 percent said they’d be more likely to buy DVDs if they could copy ‘em. All interesting stuff, but everything has a price and that price seems to be about $60, which is the amount most would be willing to pay for DVD ripping software.

    So, people would buy more if they could back them up to a hard drive?  Well, that’s not what we’ve been told at all!  People who want to copy DVDs only want to steal them and give them to friends ya know.  Yeah. 

    As stated in the article, it would be nice if this made the MPAA stop their ridiculous practices but I won’t be holding my breath.
