Maybe it's not legal, but I bought the movie AND the media to bring it at my hand, so I don't care if it's legal or not, I paid for it and I will listen it the way I want, after all.

It's like ripping a music CD, who cares if it's an mp3 file, it's the same result. You paid it for your personal use, and they can't say anything about it if you use it only for you.]]>Jul 12th 2006 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/Jul 12th 2006 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/Jul 12th 2006 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/Jul 12th 2006 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/
Bypassing the "copy protection" is ONLY illegal, if I intend on making copies for all my friends and family members, and also, to sell several copies to strangers for $2 bucks each.

However, if bought "it", watch "it" in my house, and put "it" on my iPod or my PSP for my eyes only. (As of this moment in time) It is legal for me to do so. No matter how much Hollywood may wish it otherwise.]]>Jul 12th 2006 7:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/Jul 12th 2006 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/
So it's not illegal to rip your DVDs, convert them to PSP format, and stick them on a memory stick since you owned the movie anyway.]]>Jul 12th 2006 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/BTW- whats this w/ a disc and memory stick- why not sell preloaded sticks

sell games on those cards, make them so they cant be backed up to the drive and everybody gets happy, they get to do their homebrews but you have to buy the psp's developer made games

1. This was a great idea when it came out, and yes Sony has had its problems (many indeed), but this was one of its few bright spots, and that is one of the main reasons why everyone is dogging them now about the UMDs. The UMD was actually pretty cool because it made the PSP into a complete mobile media center, something that the IPOD was not at that time, however not having a better infracture for movie supplies such as an ITunes service helped lead to the UMD downfal.
2. Hitch was a very good movie, and helped me out on many occasions while on dates. Hint: Girls love this movie. However, XXX, I can't phathom up some sort of support for.
3. Everyone is wrong, Target dropping the UMD was not an early "beginning of the end" for the UMD this clealy was: http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/21/how-to-get-videos-and-dvds-onto-your-sony-playstation-portable/ .

lol you open your DS Lite, cuz you couldnt afford a PSP. I own both. I love my Video Games.]]>Jul 13th 2006 1:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/Don't assume that US Copyright law is the end all and be all. Those of us in Canuckistan know that our copyright law lets us make as many archival copies as we want as long as we aren't distributing them. Heck some would aregue that even the "no distribution" part is open to debate in our courts.

When it was found how to backup movies on your computer and transfer them to your PSP, that became the downfall. Some people had the dough to shell out movies twice, but most of the people wanted to pay only once for something.

Every portable device has had a proprietory format for it's games, so it doesn't mean the end for games it just means that you won't be viewing UMD movies anymore. ]]>Jul 13th 2006 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/

Sony had planned (and maybe is still planning) to release other devices capable of playing UMDs, like a UMD player, but I doubt that will catch on, either.

The UMD format was an interesting move by Sony, but the high price point was just stupid.]]>Jul 13th 2006 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/sony-offers-flicks-on-memory-sticks/Jul 18th 2006 1:38PM
