A DVD Dilemma

Ripping for Teaching

Edgar Huang

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, USA, ehuang{at}iupui.edu

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) has made ripping Macrovision- or CSSprotected DVDs illegal, but university instructors and students need accessible videos in a digital format for pedagogical purposes. This legal analysis has compared the DMCA with the TEACH Act and the fair use doctrine in the Copyright Act in an attempt to find a viable solution to this dilemma. The study has provided alternative and creative approaches to DVD ripping while finding it necessary to pursue a legal amendment to the DMCA.

Key Words: copyright • Digital Millennium Copyright Act • DVD ripping • fair use • Macrovision
