[G4] DVD burning..

[zhmmy harper]

Yes, that makes sense to me as well.  Does anyone know personally of anyone 
who was prosecuted for making copies of *anything* on their home computer??  
Hell, I've got copies of copies of copies so they could probably give me the 
chair for my discrepancies.

What is repeated throughout the detailed description (Section 107) is that
if a copy is made for non-profit reasons and does not commercially impair
the copyright owner, that it allowable to archive works you would otherwise
not purchase a second copy of just for archival purposes. This is noted
several times as "the effect of the use upon the potential market for or
value of the copyrighted work". To me, this makes sense.
