Yeah but so is speeding on the freeway. People do that all day long and never gets ticket. Other times, people actually get arrested they were speeding so fast. So I ask again, did something actually happen? Did the FBI/whomever show up at your door and someone went to prison? Or is it just that format shifting got deemed illegal and now we're all running around scared?
This is different, because we don't have lasting evidence (yet). If circumvent a B-Ray's copy protection some person knowing I ripped them could still report me years after.
