With all the high tech gadgetry we have nowadays...?

Question

Is there a DVD copying device that will record a DVD with its copy protection and all.

I don't understand why a DVD that is digital information, can't be copied in whole onto another disc without a decrypting program. Isn't there any one to one device that will simply copy ALL the digital data from one disc to another without the need for decrypting?

Answer 1

Any commercial DVD has a copyright protection to prevent piracy, unlawful distribution and resale. That is the whole point in making it difficult to copy a commercial DVD. If they made it so easy, everyone would do it and no one would make money.

The answer is "no". There is not a device that will make a copy of a commercial DVD to a DVD. In order to do this, you have to break the copyright protection. Computer and a DVD-RW drive is the only way right now.
