Especially since they aren't being released commercially anywhere else. It is probably "technically" against the law, but so is loaning copies of your movies to others, and even backing up your own stuff now. As is distributing anything that is no longer in production, but still has the copyright on it, since they extended that to 75 years. Which is another whole argument in and of itself, but still quite plainly crap.

And actually, with the new laws, ripping your own CDs to MP3s, and never giving them to anyone, is now illegal. Making mixed CDs from your own collections is now illegal. All those mixed tapes that we used to make for our families and girlfriends are now technically illegal. I no longer consider that to be a legitimate test of whether something is "right" or "wrong."
