Question:
My friend buys DVDs, records the screen, and then sends me the video. Am I allowed to watch it?
Answer:
Hello,
Your friend should not be doing this, however post-facto, you are allowed to watch the videos. This is because the quality of the recorded video is lower than the original one, and because it is being done for private use, and not for business use.
