Illegal ResearchIllegal ResearchPosted Mar 14, 2003 13:04 UTC (Fri) by torsten (guest, #4137)Parent article: Going for BALANCE I sat in on a psych class. I'm EE major, but after five years of study, I like sitting in on the occasional psych class. Makes me think there are still females in the world. A young (pretty) woman was giving a presentation. She was discussing the various subtypes of schizophrenia, and using popular movies to demonstrate personality types. She had a load of VHS casettes, and was plugging them into the VCR, one-by-one. While the presentation was interesting, the constant lull during tape switches, fast forward/rewinding, and occasional garbled audio were distracting. I though, if she had used DVD's, she could simply copy the portions she needed, load them to a website or bring in her own laptop, and attach the the projector. It would be quicker, simpler (with the right software), more professional, and make a better impact on her presentation. Then I realized that copying the video she needed for her research would make her a felon, liable to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 USD fine per infraction. What was I thinking? Torsten
