[edit] Pro-dvds

Ignoring the legality of the site and local shop in question, this article fails to assert any notability for the company, which itself fails WP:CORP.➨ ЯEDVERS 19:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and send the Old Bill around... ~ Matticus78 20:14, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I object to the deletion of this page. It is stub article and needs expanding, not deleting. Regarding the legality of it, as far as i no it is perfectly legal. Dean randall 20:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• I'm afraid you're mistaken, or have been misled by internet copyright fairytales (like that old "it's legal if you delete within 24 hours" chestnut). In the UK it is illegal to make backups of games for personal use even if you own the original, without written consent from the copyright holder (http://www.elspa.com/?l=faq&cat=21). The "legal backup" clause is a relic from the days of unreliable floppy disks and cassette tapes, and no longer applies. And while it's not, strictly speaking, illegal to make a back up of a DVD, breaking the copy protection to do so is (http://www.euro-copyrights.org/index/8/13). Even putting those matters aside, profiting from the sale of copyrighted material most certainly is illegal, and far, far more likely to get you in serious trouble than your average joe copying his CDs to put in the car stereo. But I digress; the AfD debate is over notability, not legality. ~ Matticus78 22:58, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your detailed comment regarding the legality of copied Dvd's. When i wrote the article i was under the impression it was legal (as stated on their website). There website is not running anymore and they are not accpeting anymore orders so i can only assume they have closed down. Delete the article now as it is based on a non-existant company Dean randall 19:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
