| Sefy's Classical
& Complete DVD Backup Guides - Disclaimer
This guide is dedicated
to help you back up your own DVD movies using the various programs
available. You are the one responsible for your
own actions when using the guide.
Piracy and Copyright
I do not condone or
endorse video piracy in any way. The function of this guide is to
simply provide information for people to backup their own purchased
DVDs to any media type they are capable (DivX/VCD/SVCD or DVDR). In most
countries copyright laws allow the original purchaser/owner to legally
make one personal backup/copy for their own personal use. I would like
to stress that it is illegal to backup/copy a movie that you do not own
(i.e.. personally purchased). It is also illegal to backup/copy your
own movie and give copies away. The legality of copying a movie for a
friend (if he owns that particular movie) may also depend on your
country's' legislation concerning that matter.
This Guide is NOT a warez
guide but a DVD Backup information ONLY. All the software mentioned on
this guide is either freeware, licensed under the GNU public domain

you're looking for illegal software it is suggested that you go
someplace else. If you have any queries regarding the legality of the
software mentioned on this guide please contact me directly before
launching a major lawsuit and threaten the writer of this guide.
CSS Decryption
CSS decryption is an
extremely controversial issue at the moment and one which must be
thoroughly understood if you are to use the guides featured on this
site. If you are new to DVD and haven't yet heard of a little program
called DeCSS then you should go and do some research to bring you up
to date. DeCSS allows you to crack the copy protection of a DVD and
copy the files to your hard disk unprotected. The MPAA (Motion Picture
Association of America) has recently won against 2600.com
in the first instance. That means it's effectively forbidden to offer
for download and even link to DeCSS. All CSS decryption tool - even
those that have the letters DeCSS in their name - have nothing to do
with DeCSS and should therefore be legal. However you have to be aware
that the actual process of decrypting a DVD might not be legal in your
country. It's strongly recommended that if you are unsure of your own
country's law regarding this issue you seek professional legal advice
from a qualified individual before using any of the guides.

every DVD he backed up while testing and will NEVER sell, give away or
distribute his backups. If you want DVDs please buy them... there's
many places that offer you some pretty good deals. This guide exists
because the owner is interested in the ability to create Backups of
personal and legally owned DVD's.
