I pop one of the movies in my PC loaded up the software that came with my shiny new MP3 player and followed the instructions to load movies onto my player. tick tock tick tock bam error copyright movie you can't copy it you know the drill . ok so I try one of my home made movies and presto it work. I popped a different movie from my collection into the drive and same result. clearly the advertisement said watch movies on the go. that's what am trying to do. ok so now am calling my buddy for help guess what man this stupid MP3 payer cant save my movies. remember copying movies is illegal. how am I supposed to get my movie onto the player without braking any laws? and don't tell me use 3rd party software.

If you have purchased a copy of the movie, then essentially what you purchased is a "license" of that movie for personal use. So you can duplicate that movie into any format that is more convenient for you so that you can watch it when you wish or even just have a "back-up" copy in case something happens to your original. So, copying a movie you've already purchased is perfectly legal, unless you're giving it to someone else.
