Copyright Laws

When someone makes a copy of his or her own purchased media, whether it is music, movies, or pictures, and keeps it for personal use, I do not believe it should be illegal. After I buy a new movie DVD or music CD, the first thing I do is make a digital copy of it so that my wife and I can watch or listen to it on my iPhone, my computers, my AppleTV, and my iPod. When companies put restrictions, like only being allowed to listen to a purchased song for thirty days, on copyright material, it will only make more people want to find other means of obtaining media, especially if they can find what they want that has no restrictions for free. There is no way of stopping piracy with brute force. It can only be done by educating people and providing legal alternatives.
