Coldstreamer Posted 19 January , 2016 Share Posted 19 January , 2016 always thought you couldn't keep something recorded for more than 30 days - don't recall where I heard that , twas a long time ago ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy Posted 19 January , 2016 Share Posted 19 January , 2016 I think you can record/tape for your own use only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Clay Posted 19 January , 2016 Share Posted 19 January , 2016 Biffo, the answer is yes, you would be breaking copyright laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 19 January , 2016 Share Posted 19 January , 2016 ah ok so that's a no then The key is whether you recorded them on your DVD player or whether you bought them as DVDs. Under UK copyright law you can make recordings for your personal use, but can not sell those recordings - commonly known as pirate copies. You can sell a DVD that you bought. In a similar way one can buy a painting or a photograph and sell them later. One can't make copies of them (if they are under copyright) and sell them. So, if one bought a DVD and then sold it, it is OK as one is not making a copy. In the same way one can buy and subsequently sell a book/painting/photos which are all under copyright.
