When I pre-order movies/shows (2012 DS being a good example), it does list the Ultraviolet/Digital copy.

I didn't really understand it, but, since they were in fact purchased new by me, I felt it was legal.

Why would I want to d/l an add'l copy? Seems like it goes to 'the cloud' which I don't get.

Also, if I buy it new, why is there an 'expiration' date (only good to d/l ultraviolet until XX/XXXX)?

As I had mentioned some years back, I had worked at a video rental place.

A couple times a month, a man would come in to rent just a BLU-RAY for 1 day ONLY.

He eventually told me he was just 'downloading' them to his PC??

I didn't understand (knew it didn't sound right), but, wouldn't copying a blu-ray DVD onto your PC take up A L O T of space?
(I've meant to ask this for quite some time.)

Alright,  bought "Mirrors" (don't know why I bough it blu-ray, although there's times on Amazon when you can get a blue ray used for about same price as 'regular' DVD, again, used).

I open the box/case, there's instructions (printed, from I don't see the printers name), but it fits the case, and it's a professional job/gloss. There's how to transfer to Mac, for transfer to PC, with step-by-step instructions.

(I see a small print at bottom that the Serial Number will only be good thru 4/14/09.)

How/why is it legal to 'rent' a DVD & 'keep it' on your computer?

(Libraries rent DVDs for free; granted, I think most of these are contributions, I'm sure alot of us have given our local libraries DVDs we didn't want.)

"Insert disc 2 into your PC's DVD drive and click on the "Transfer Digital Copy" button from the menu"; to me, it sounds legal; if there's a system built-in to your computer to transfer.

Is it legal?
Why is it legal (I bought this USED copy, from someone who had obviously ALSO bought it)....
Wouldn't it take up enormous space (20-40 DVDs)?
Would blu-ray take up more space than a 'regular' DVD?

It would be fun if the Collinsport Players would do a 'cover' of a D.A. type theme...Edwardian era. Jameson could be the 'big cheese' (couldn't be an Earl, WE ARE AMERICANS, DAS).

In the B.G., the girls appear at the doorway.

What's the 'B. G.'?

At any of the fests in the last 3-4 years (or more recent), has anyone (fan or actor) ever mentioned, "Downton Abbey"?

(For some reason, last week while watching it, I was thinking J. Frid may have been watching the earlier years....)

Okay, on today's (Sat) Current Talk 16 II, the caption reads something, "Barnabas".

It's the Drogan.

I thought Barn was played by Cross.

Please put a picture of '90 reboot BARNABAS for me.

Thank you,

Patti

I, too have not watched it yet.

I knew that it might be 'sluggish' with EVERYONE watching it.

I've owned the whole series for years, I'll wait until after New Years.

Next item:

We all know that we can put GG on DS because, if nothing else, Matt Chrunchy was in the '04 WB pilot.

But, there's another cross-over DS/GG.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....I know there are quite of few people who will IMMEDIATELY know; please don't post answer.....let someone like me think about it and try to GUESS.

Thanks,

Patti
