DVD Burning Software Giveaway? Change of Policy?
 
I'm just curious, since DVDTalk is having a giveaway for DVD ripping software, has there been a change in the policy strictly banning discussion of such software? The post about the giveaway on the front page says "As holiday season is drawing near, a great number of movies are coming out. Would it be wonderful if you could make a backup of these movies for safe storage, later burning, playing?" If a user posted that in Tech Talk, the thread would get closed and the user suspended or banned. Anyway, I just find it interesting.

Yep, under G.K.'s old rules, the studios weren't very happy about such discussions - and since the studios provide DVD Talk with screeners, all such talk was frowned upon. I don't think Internet Brands worries as much, nor do I know what the studio screener situation is like anymore, since I've been banned myself from reviewing on DVD Talk. :)

I just saw it and was coming here to post how ironic the giveaway is. Don't talk about it on our forums, but here's some software to help you do it! :lol:

First thing I thought of too. Every time someone asks about it they get cut off and banned.

:lol:

I downloaded the free version and have what is probably a stupid question, but how do I tell if I have a DVD burner? I can't remember the specs from when I bought it.

And a thumbs up to the loosening of rules on the talk of ripping DVDs.

What a fucking joke.

It's odd because it isn't an ad. It is a contest. Ah well Danny coporate policies and thief profitable loopholes.

Agreed. It's not an ad. It's a giveaway directly from the site. Completely unprofessional for the site and management to say one thing and do something completely different.

Contrary to the impression the advertising campaign may have created, IB has not advised a change in the site's policy toward discussions of copyright infringement and violations of the DMCA. I'll certainly let you know if they do.
