Sorry Dribbles, but it's not a black and white issue, never will be
and there is plenty of case precedence on both sides of the copyrights
vs fair use laws. Mostly it all boils down to how well you can argue
your case and what the judge's personal feelings are about it. Of
course even then you can appeal and appeal again, hell you might even
be able to get it all the way to the supreme court.
I doubt ANY copyright holder suing you would let it get that far
though, after all, they don't want to risk losing their precious DMCA.
They would drop the case or try and settle before letting it get that
far. In fact they'll drop any case in which it looks like they might
not win, just because they want to try and control the level of case
precedence.
Regarding the original poster...yer a fuckwitted moron. A measly buck
ninety five a pop is more than fair for the conversion process. If
your stupid ass doesn't want to pay it, get the fuck off your retarded
and learn how to encode video yer damn self, then you won't need to
pay that buck ninety five to get it onto yer iPod.
