Movie "backups" defense... (Netflix related)
A friend of mine who burns dvds brought up this argument...
"I have a Netflix account. ALL the movies I have DVD copies of are availible on Netflix. So, if I have access to all these movies at anytime I want,
is it still illegal for me to have these DVD copies?"
I thought it was a pretty good argument!

aside from DVDs of music footage I have very little desire to actually own any these days.
In most cases, i watch something one time and never want to see it again, unless it is really special.
Plus it's just more shit I have to find some place to put it.

I started to convert some DVD's to digital, mostly because our DVD player is broken and I want to catch up on Family Guy but it just takes so damn
long to encode the things so I stopped doing it. $50 for a new DVD player sounds good.
I have been backing up all my CD's to FLAC though, encoding is much quicker and you can do 10-20 albums a day if you get on a good roll.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
