I predict in fifty years we will all have microchips in our brains!
I had a computer teacher in high school who said that we are going to have barcodes and like the usb flash drives on the back of necks in like 20 years. oh course this guy listened to a little too much pink floyd and might have done a little too many drugs in his day.G$f3arl3ssG$ said:I predict in fifty years we will all have microchips in our brains!

Hmmm Reminds me of a little show called Dark Angel. I almost considered getting a tattooed barcode on my neck for some reason after watching it :lol:

I have seen people with barcode tattoos but not in the neck though.
I doubt they will be able to ban the dvd burners. Most counties would have to agree on banning them if they were gonna get them out of the market.

I find it rather facinating that you randomly picked Thailand out of all countries where something like this could happen. They happen to have alot of bootlegged stuff in general.Dreila said:
Well I have a DVD burner and I'll be damned if they burn it...a member from congress can personally come down here and pry it out of my computer and reimburse me. I mean there are going to be people who choose to swap files...there are going to be people to bootleg stuff. They can always do it the old fashion way. When people use to bootleg things with camcorders.
Me too! Actually a friend of mine got me a temporary tattoo of a barcode once for Christmas, but I lost it.G$f3arl3ssG$ said:Hmmm

okay, we have a dvd burner my mom likes copying her music cd's just in case like they get stolen or ruined she'll still have a copy and won't have to buy it again, she'd like to that with dvd's also. And make home videos and put them on dvds. I don't see why they have to ban them. I think it's ridiculous.
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
Just like they try to do with iTunes and music services, they'll try to put digital protections on it, and even then I don't think they'll be able to do it.
DVD burners are here to stay. It's our right as a consumer, plus, the main use of DVD burners is to burn our own video, not copyrighted stuff.
I got DVDXCopy, yes I do! (I haven't really used it, but hey, I got it!)

I seriously doubt they will be banned. Even CD-burners will not be banned. To be honest with you i really don't know how the music industry survives with all the bootlegging going on. Do it do it? Hell yes!
I will never pay 18$ for an album that contains 2 good songs. I've bought maybe 5 albums where 80% of the songs were decent. I do not feel bad about this and please don't try to preach to me.
The musicians dont even get money off their CD sales, actually they do but it's something like 0.25$ per CD, so in turn i'm crippling the corporations who distribute the CD's in the first place.
The way i see until you start selling a quality product, for a reasonable price i will keep doing it.

Ahh, all this bootlegging reminds me of when they tried to ban alcohol, ha, good one. Next thing you know, they’ll say you have to be 21 to burn dvds / disks.
You know, they should try banning bootlegging and then there will be people bootlegging bootlegging, oooh, okay this sounds like a bunch of nonsense now,
I agree with you Sofie, they are messing with us

OK I think they should and they shouldn't because some people use them to download dvd's and burn them through a dvd burner and if all people did that then the movie making company wouldn't make ANY money because only one person bought the dvd and spread it through the interent but some people use them to make copies so the originals dont get ruined..so its a either or situation

DVD Burners should be legal!! There are millions of other products out there that have the potential of being more harmful and illegal then a simple dvd burner.
Me too...and then I thought about the whole pain and how it would look when I was older...but I did have a temporary barcode tattoo that I got free in a packet of crisps.G$f3arl3ssG$ said:Hmmm

Uh hu. I agree. Personally, if I copied a CD or DVD, it would be because I was going to take it out in a portable CD or DVD player, and I wanted to keep the original safe. But others might not use it for that.VaughnsAHottie said:
i use my dvd player to make copies of dvds but if i like the movie alot i'll still go spend the money to buy it. maybe these companies that produce dvd burners and the ones that make the media should give some money to the movie producers because i doubt if it wasnt for the movies most people wouldnt even buy the dvd burn unless you feel the need to burn your hd to multi dvds, i have done that to back up my computer before reformating.
