Telling It Like It Is asked:


OBVIOUSLY it’s illegal, but many ppl have programs to copy and burn movies. Is this considered a hobby or something people would do if they have nothing better to do with their lives?

Solution digital problem

    Making illegal copies of someone’s copyrighted work by pressing a button on a computer is hardly what I would consider a hobby.

    To me a hobby isn’t just something to fill the day, it’s something I can take pride in.

    I’ve got over 1200 VHS tapes of programs that I taped off TV. Nothing illegal about that. I intend to watch them all and put some on DVD in the future. I also have several hundred audio tapes of Old-time radio programs. Call it a hobby or maybe a pastime, doesn’t matter, as long as it is enjoyable.

    Even if the type of copying you are talking about what legal, it would not be considered a hobby. A hobby is usually productive and should be something you can take pride in.
