I've got a few friends on another online forum (the Bass Guitar forum on harmony-central.com, if anyone wants to know) who really want to get a hold of the ORIGINAL SW Trilogy in DVD format(i.e. rips from the LD's). None of them have DVD burners but me, so I offered to download the Trilogy and burn it for them. I'm a nice guy, aftar all
. I'm not really charging them anything for it, just a little to cover my costs for the DVD's/cases/postage/gas for the trip to the post office.I live in BC, Canada, but I'm 5 minutes away from the US border. Whenever I ship to US addresses, I just take the package across the border and ship it from there. The government officials at the border usually just ask what it is you're sending and let you go.
I've read through the posts so far, but I'm still unsure about the copyright/piracy laws in the states. The people I'm making the DVDs for own the original video on a different format (Laser Disc, or some have the originals on VHS). So, these videos really are backup copies, in another format. Should I have anything to worry about?
Oh, and on another note, the files I downloaded are ripped by [BroJ]. They appear to have pretty good video/audio quality. There are some basic menus that look like this one:
Anyone know what "version" I have?
