Actually, it's Fair Use that allows backup copies of things you buy. The DMCA has trampled all over those rights. Fair Use says you can make a backup of a DVD you buy, the DMCA says you can't if it means breaking CSS.

I was actually referring to fair use when I said it has allowances. Right after the DMCA handles the stuff in "Paragraph 1201 Circumvention of copyright protection systems" you're talking about it goes on to say "OTHER RIGHTS, ETC., NOT AFFECTED.-(1) Nothing in this section shall affect rights, remedies, limitations, or defenses to copyright infringement, including fair use, under this title."

Some politicians have actually mentioned the above as well when confronted about the DMCA. So as I said, the act of ripping may itself be perfectly legal even if creating and distributing the software isn't. And that's not even getting into the various other ways of ripping that don't decrypt, like those that get data from memory (admittedly they were a PITA and have faded out of use with new techniques, but they may be more legal).

seems fishy some people voted 3+ terabytes. i doubt this is for home use. i have trouble filling 400gb. so anyone with : 15 200GB, 12 250GB, or 10 300GB drive speak up. how do YOU fill up 3 TB?

 

[Safeway]

8 x 250GB WD JB Series
2 x 74GB Raptors
2 x 160GB WD JB Series
1 x 10GB iPod
1 x 20GB iPod
1 x 40GB iPod
1 x 80GB WD Firewire

= 2458GB = 2.458TB

And for the curious souls out there, the mondo 8 x 250GB drives are for storing pictures taken on a 16 megapixel professional grade camera. Yeah ... the files are huge. So far, 600GB taken up out of that 2000GB.

 

[Sonix7]

just 80GB, but i'm just happy with that, since i Like to have all burnt in CDs, especially Divx movies.

Actually kind sir, I will soon have to upgrade the storage. It seems as if we go through 200GB a month. Sometimes 300GB. Keep in mind that CAD and the pictures from the 16MP camera are stored. As for the folks that will most definately ask how pictures are taken and stored ... we have 10 (or 12?) 1 GB cards. Most are filled up daily. How? Pictures abound. Huge sizes.

 

[JBT]

My Rig
1x 74GB Raptor
1x 40GB Maxtor

My lappy
1x 40GB Hitachi

I also have another PC which my Parents are barrowing which has a 20GB WD in it.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

My comp -
1x250 7200 maxtor
1x160 7200 maxtor
1x80 7200 ? external
1x80 5400 maxtor
2x18 atlas IV 10k scsi
1x30 nomad zen xtra

in the somewhat near future im gonna spring for a 6 channel RAID 5 with 5x250 and one hot swappable. that will be lovely.

 

[imported_nitrus]

once again, is this business or home use? i understand business use, if a million people used gmail they would need 1000 TB, or : 400 7k400's w/o redundancy. correct me if im wrong. so i understand commercial needs of storage.

 

[MuffD]

Dell 400SC 660gb
Wife's PC 80gb

[Grimbones]

Got a bunchh

 

[stillkicking]

Wow! There are some serious amounts of storage here. And I thought something was wrong with my life for fantasizing about getting a new drive when I still have room left on the old ones. Is this like porn where you can never have too many pictures? Or mp3s (4700 plus and rising)?

120 seagate (55.7 remaining)
80 maxtor (32.1 remaining)
20 western digital (6.2 remaining)

Not too shabby, methinks...It's simpleon't store Linux distro ISO's/DVDs/CD's on your box, and you really don't need that much...
