Are cable movies like Charter HBO copy protected?

Question

I used to tape HBO, etc for later viewing on either VHS or my DVD recorder. Is this still possible? or are they now protected?

Answer 1

Hi Rick,

They are not protected. You can put them on a VHS or DVD for your own use.

It would be illegal to sell or give away copies.

Answer 2

you can still record them for personal use.

copyright just means you can't go and sell them.

but i don't see no problem with saving them for your own use.

WHY DO YOU THINK THEY MADE DVR'S!!!!
