To whomever has access to such nefarious technology:

Mark Sarian and I got some DVDs that we need to copy/splice/edit for a video piece in our upcoming SPANK show on Sept 16 (and perhaps for a future run at a date to be determined).

But O! Silly us! This stuff is copy protected and we're having a devil of a time getting this stuff onto Mark's computer. Damn you, industry! Daaaamn you!

Anyway, the use is legal (as it's all court-defined "parody" and under 30 sec) but we lack what Ghostbusters' Winston Zeddemore would term the "tools and talent" to accomplish the job.

Can anyone out there help us? We probably need less than 5 minutes of total video time and will reward our samaritan appropriately (perhaps by taking them to McManus after Spank, where they can drink on our tab until blindness sets in).

If someone out there can help us out, please email me at mexpop@hotmail.com.

Thanks in advance, Gigantic Internet Community!

Welcome to the new age of copyright laws. While it's legal to copy the DVD for fair use reasons like a parody, it is not legal to break digital copy protection schemes. Just want to point out how your hard won copyright fair use rights have been eroded by this end run around the supreme court.
