For instance, Disney places tapes of its classic movies on the market periodically, but only for limited times. One cannot copy them during the intervals when they are not on market. Also, if the manufacturer discontinued the legacy game to encourage the public to buy a successor of some kind, the copying is assur as well as illegal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-28709555654868190182007-06-01T16:40:00.000-04:002007-06-01T16:40:00.000-04:00I went to a Shiur by Rav Herschal Schachter on thi...I went to a Shiur by Rav Herschal Schachter on this topic. Basically one thing that he pointed out is that we have to obey by the DMD even if it doesn't seem to serve a function at that time. (He brought in an example about it being 2AM and you are at an intersection, you still need to wait at the red light even if there is clearly not a person for miles.<BR/>(Also from a psychological perspective, even if a person does an Aveira that doesn't harm anyone and may not even be so bad, it still numbs the person and desensitizes themselves to that action...and may lead to worse thigngs. So the same could apply here, that if you are loopholing for this one thing, what stops it from being okey to loophole for others)<BR/><BR/>Personally, I don't think the situation at hand is really on that same level and I would think it makes sense and is okay to do...Ezra Seligsohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01735103557132338627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-11013325300438873752007-06-01T15:44:00.000-04:002007-06-01T15:44:00.000-04:00My bad for not immediatly thinking of the dina d'm...My bad for not immediatly thinking of the dina d'malchusa issue.
