First off, let me say that I'm all in favor of keeping any distribution of unaired EPs under the radar. You can't be too careful. However,
The DMCA creates stiff penalties for the circumvention of copyright protection systems.
What if the DVD isn't copy protected? The DVD copying software I have does not work if the DVD has copy protection. However, it works on that Variety "Once More With Feeling" DVD that I picked up a couple of years ago for way too much money on eBay. I wouldn't be surprised if the press DVDs for WF also lack copy protection.
Frankly, statutory research gets us nowhere at this point. If 20th wants to sue us they will, DMCA notwithstanding.
Yeah, after I posted I realized that. If it's not copy protected, the DMCA might not apply, but it's still a form of stealing (in Fox' view). Scripts and audio clips aren't copy protected either.

Yeah - I agree. I saw some questions about what the DMCA covered and thought this might help.
I was a bit snippy. But legal at 20th doesn't care whether it falls under the statute or not-- they'll send a C&D if they feel their interests are being threatened, and they won't hesitate to file a complaint.

True this. See Buffy Cross & Stake, which got slapped with a C&D due to images AND spoilers.
Maybe the C&D will be to get us to stop calling that poor woman about the DVDs.

Maybe it's time for a trade: "We'll be nice; jut give us the fucking DVDs."
Of course, lack of DVDs is the whole reason behind the alleged naughtyness in the first place.
There are 666 new posts for me in Minearverse. I'm not sure what that means, but I am scared. ijs.
I've been seeing a trend lately with intellectual property issues to skip the C&D and jump right to filing a suit. It's happened to a few theatres over use of music.
