[kwlug-disc] Backing up DVDs in Canada

[Russell McOrmond]

Our copyright has exceptions for backing up of *software* and a private
copying regime for audio recordings (AKA Music), but not other data
including but not limited to audio-visual (DVDs).

In the bus so can't provide links to the act right now, but can if people
curious.

IANAL, TINLA.
