There have been a few requests of late as to how you convert Rip DVD's, convert FLV files etc to wmv or avi or many other formats. We remind people that this site takes copyright laws seriously. In most cases the ripping of dvd's (even to make a backup copy) and converting flv files breaches local copyright laws. I have heard many excuses as to why people think it is ok to do this and I am not seeking to become the moral police.
I would remind everyone though, just because we can doesn't mean we should. This site is primarily about photography and many of our regular contributors make their living selling their photos, so copying anything without the knowledge of the copyright owner impacts on the ability of the copyright owner to make a living.
For this reason we are requesting that people don't post instructions on how to RIP / Convert items that might lead others to infringe copyright. We are hoping that film makers will feel comfortable sharing their work on Photographyreview.com to gain constructive feedback without the fear of having someone steal their work.
