Nothing is a 'bonus' when you buy something. You paid for it, you should get it. I have never pirated a single thing in my life, but I am seriously thinking about doing it now. I have been forced to pay for the same thing many times over because the copy I 'own' doesn't transfer and it stops working. Why is it a crime if I rip a DVD I paid for but not theft if they stop providing a service that was paid for?


Where is it a crime to rip a DVD you own?

Looks like the UK, probably Canada, and maybe the US.
