Well I'm not an expert in laws even because every country has it's own.
It just happens that "
ripping and/or decrypting a DVD for the purpose of copying it or any other purpose whatsoever" is illegal in many countries.
Read along with me "for copy purposes or any other purposes".
That's the Portuguese law (my own country) and it's pretty much the same all around Europe from what I was told except that in other countries the law is more severe.
And it all boils down to the country hosting this forum and it's laws.
There the criminal and there is the accessory to a criminal.
Since 2002 in my country anybody explaining someone else how to rip/decrypt a DVD is considered accessory to a criminal and he/she can go to jail from 3 to 24 months depending on if it was mass production of counterfeit DVDs or if was simply for self use.
Cool huh?
Even I didn't know this when I answered the previous post

.
Well that's just the law because in the real world I see tons of pirated DVDs being sold on street-markets with cops all over the place and they don't arrest anyone...

Can you believe it? Cheap copies of single movies DVDs produced with DVDShrink.
Those guys need a role model.
They need to get some real education.
They need to get in here and learn something about video encoding

English grammer and punctuation etc should not be a criteria for banning, for some people english might not be their mother language, rest stands true.

Well I'm not talking about how accurate somebody's English is even because mine is faaaaaar from perfect.
I just would like to see people using the enter key when they are supposed to and to see people using upper case (only!) when they should.
Otherwise they are just making it complicated for others to read and reply which is what a forum is used for

.
So I keep my point of view that someone who clearly doesn't want to respect the other board members then he or she should be warned several times and then ultimately he/she should be banned.
On a side-note I would say that in terms of grammar you can always move on to FireFox 2.0 that comes with a grammar engine to help us forums geeks

.
But all this is pretty much off-topic on an "Xvid rant" kind of topic.
We should stop this or if we feel like continuing then we should use another topic for that
