Here's a thought that crossed my mind today - AnyDVD users naturally upload logfiles to this forum if they encounter a problem with protection on a DVD or Blu-ray, the authors of AnyDVD then use the logfiles to enable the correct playback of the disc in question.
However, could it be said that uploading logfiles is illegal? I ask this as copyright holders may see it as assisting in the breaking of copy protection, therefore could the uploaders of logfiles potentially be breaking the law and perhaps get into trouble for doing so?
To extrapolate from that, could it also be said that anyone using AnyDVD is breaking the law as they are, by using AnyDVD, circumventing copy protection?
I only use AnyDVD to enable playback of my (legally purchased, original) Blu-ray discs on my PC, I've never ripped or copied a disc, but am I breaking the law just by using AnyDVD? It's something that I've never really thought about before as I only use it to play back my own discs.
Just some thoughts.
