Recently, there has been a spate of posts asking for assistance in relation to downloaded movie files; mainly 'torrented' ISO images and .avi files (multi-.rar or just straight .avi). Whilst we recognise there are legitimate sources for purchasing and downloading music and movies on-line, and that there are freely-available titles for which there is no copyright problem, please take note of the following reminder:

We can assist people who want to make a lawful back-up copy to protect their original purchase, or, because of copy protections, have problems in using their original licensed dvd/cd(s). The forum is not here to help people to make illegal copies of copyright material .

• If you are having difficulties in making a working back-up (whether as an image or physical copy) of a dvd/cd that you own, feel free to ask and we'll be glad to help if we can.
• If you have a problem getting your original dvd/cd to run because of copy protection; again, we're glad to help.
• However, if you don't own a licensed original and you're having problems getting illegally downloaded ISO image/avi files working, then too bad. Buy the original game, movie or album and don't waste our time and yours by asking for help here.

As Da_Taxman would say- "Respect CDFreaks by respecting our rules " (and remember that you agreed to abide by them when you joined the forum).
