However, there are numerous legally distributed hardware devices used in professional and semi-professional video production processes which are able to defeat analog copy protection mechanisms which prevent re-digitizing a protected analog signal produced by a DVD player. Many higher educational institutions (but my no means all) have this sort of equipment as part of an instructional media lab, and so it will now be legal to use it for this purpose. Some examples of technology which works are professional playback and record decks, video mixers with genlock, professional IO breakout boxes and others. I hope this will be a starting point for some institutions to get busy exercising their rights.Logan 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/04122386421631073859noreply@blogger.com
