My beloved Mighty Boosh DVDs can’t be played in the USA! WHAT CAN I DO!?! FYI I’ve had some wine and I can’t googly it properly
I’d say, since you already own the DVD, it’s ok to download it’s contents from a piracy website…
Back in the day a good workaround was to go buy the cheapest off brand sketchy dvd player you could find. The manufacturers were so cheap they never implemented region locking.
If you were somewhere else you could use MakeMKV to break the region lock/DRM on the disc and give you playable files. Unfortunately, within the USA (depending on who you ask) cracking DRM is illegal. Though I am not aware of anyone ever being prosecuted for breaking DRM on discs for personal use copies of media they legally own. IANAL
If anyone knows, has this been proven in court if it’s done to rip a copy of something you own?
Realistically nobody’s coming after you for that unless you do it on an industrial scale for profit
Are you using a hardware DVD player? Google the model number +region unlock or region free code.
there’s a program called Handbrake you can just rip it. you have to get a program to get around right protection, but I can’t remember what it’s called
