That's the reality of it. DVD burners exist primarily to steal movies, not to back-up movies. Anyone who says otherwise is pissing on your leg and telling you it's raining.
I have never used my DVD Burner to steal movies. I've used my DVD Burner to back up data and to create DVDs of video I've created at home.

Thank You for the clarification. I knew there was something about it being talked about, just could not remember the exact situation.

There are no doubt people like yourself. However, you're in the minority based on my experience and the experience of other people I talk to.
