Forum rules and answer back.

[CharlyAR]

A mod told me that I violated a rule (#6, illegal movies rules).

Is against the rules to say that I want to make a copy from a movie that I own, a DVD that I OWN? I _REALLY_ thought it wasn't, as long as I own it! :confused:

Another question, maybe somebody can answer me, is there a way to answer back to the mod?

Thanx! (hope this questions are not against rules :()

I wish you would provide a link to what thread you are referring to so I can read it but to answer your last question, you can use the forum's private messaging feature. Don't know who you want but here's the moderator list (http://forum.doom9.org/showgroups.php?).

Yes, there are ways. And if you had read the rules you would have found the page telling you how: http://forum.doom9.org/sanctions.htm

But since your post http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?postid=309730#post309730 is about the DVD, you claims you own, The Two Towers that according to my research is due to be released on August 26, 2003 I wouldn't try to go further!.!

CharlyAR, anything is possible. It is possible, though extremely unlikely, that New Line Productions, Inc., decided to release this film into distribution four months early in Latin America. I based this both on their press releases about DVD release dates, and, because you are struggling with an NTSC formatted DVD in Argentina, which is, I think, a PAL country.

It is possible, though extremely unlikely, that this disc was a legitimate pre-release DVD transfer -- such as a screener -- by New Line Productions, Inc. or their authorized agents. It is unlikely, because I believe those have proper MPEG-2 flags, plus, every few minutes large subtitles (such as "For your Consideration" on awards screeners) to discourage copying.

It is possible, but unlikely, that you obtained a legitimate pre-release copy via legal means. Unlikely, due to your having an NTSC pre-release copy rather than a PAL one.

It is possible, and, I would think, more likely, that you have purchased or otherwise obtained a so-called "bootleg" DVD, based on your description of the MPEG-2 flags. You may have felt the source was legitimate, but the ownership of such property is not legal in Argentina, a signatory to the Berne Convention.Any strike may be appealed, as described above.
