Hi Maxx,
As a content publisher, we take copyright laws very seriously. We also believe strongly in Fair Use. The laws are simple: When recording or converting media, please do not redistribute it to other people. This will keep you out of trouble.
Our products fall in the same category as VCR's, TiVo Digital Video Recorders (DVR's), Tape Recorders, CD Burners, iPods, and other popular consumer devices. All Applian products record streaming media not protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management), and are fully compliant with all copyright laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Only 1% of all online video and audio is DRM protected.
Here is what our products are NOT:
* We do not provide instructions or equipment to illegally access or tamper with software, servers, or web sites.
* We do not provide products that enable illegal access of cell phones and other communications or content delivery systems/devices.
* We do not provide software to unlock copyright protection.
* We do not provide tools for copying CDs or DVD's not intended for personal use.
* We do not sell products or services that circumvent digital rights management (DRM) technologies or technical protection measures for copyrighted works.
In other words, i'm pretty sure we're safe and are going to continue to grow. VCR's have been around for MANY years, and media recorders, players etc are just getting MORE popular. Our company is constantly growing and gaining new customers, & coming out with new and innovative products.
I've even spoke with some government employees (Name/branch not to be
mentioned) that have purchased our software in bulk, love it, and use it daily.
At any rate, I hope this puts you at ease about our software and servers, we're not going anywhere *Knock on wood*.
Best Regards,
Jeff Lenney
