so let me ask again; Lets say they can stop me from coping for myself, is it right for them to stop me from using something I paid for?
In my opinion, no. But it probably works. There might be loopholes, and if I’m right about the loopholes, I wouldn’t feel it was wrong to utilize them (let me again stress if I paid for it).
The possible loopholes that I know of: copying off of a download, copying off of an already illegally made copy.
IOW, if I paid for a CD, it’s possible (according to my theories) that I would not be able to copy from my own CD, but I could copy from someone else’s pirated or downloaded copy. Ironic, I know, but possibly true.
