That was a really nice rant!!
Screw 'em. Let them get a search warrant and invade my personal domicile looking for "illegal contraband" - my old VHS Macrovision protected taples which I've archived to DVD for safekeeping. I bought the tapes, I archived the tapes, and if they don't like it, they should sit back in their leather chairs in their million-dollar appointed offices and lay out another line of cocaine on their mahogony desks and snort their blues away while they are waiting for their Heidi Fleiss ****** to arrive.

Too bad that you are ranting about something that nobody is stopping you from doing. What part of these quotes, from the article, did you have trouble comprehending?

Record labels have said that "ripping" a CD to MP3 files, or burning a few copies, as long as they're for personal use, is OK.

and

Home copying is legal, but entertainment companies aren't required to let you do it.

So relax, nobody is trying to put you in jail with rapists and murderers for archiving your tapes. Sorry but you'll have to find something else to freak out about. happy
