  • • “As the law is today, you can not have a media center without breaking the law. When I think of a media center it is a place where you have all your movies, pictures and music together. You can only do that by having a digital copy of the movie.”

      
      

      “In my media center I have digital copies of my legally purchased DVD movies,” he writes in his confession. “Overall, I suppose I’ve made digital copies of approx. 100 films and 10 seasons of TV series,” he added.

    • On the surface this should be fine, since Danish copyright law allows for the private, non-commercial copying of purchased DVDs.

      
      

      12.–(1) Anyone is entitled to make or have made, for private purposes, single copies of works which have been made public if this is not done for commercial purposes. Such copies must not be used for any other purpose.

      
      

      Unfortunately the law does not allow for the circumvention of the DRM on the disks in order to do so.

      
      

      75.c –(1) It is not permitted to circumvent effective technological measures without the consent of the rights holder.
