Well not autonomously, with manual input of course.

This means it is illegal (but not criminal) to rip your CDs to a file format such as MP3.

*sigh* SA law needs a solid dose of common sense.

So iTunes Match will now get us in trouble?

As with others I've also ripped most of my DVDs to my PC. It just makes more sense streaming them from my main PC than having to swap out DVDs.

Does this really affect people that much though? I would say literally about 98% of the games I bought in the last year were acquired digitally.

If you ask me, the DVD's days are numbered. It's just so much more convenient buying everything digitally.

Digital, it never gets damaged lost or stolen (well unless your account is hacked)

And they wonder why people don't give a second thought to pirating. How retarded!
