    It would've been a waste of money to put protection on it. I mean, how many people are gonna make backup copies of Weird Al?

    I made a backup copy because it is one of those dual-sided discs. Don't want to make scratches to this masterpiece.

    Its just not cost effective to put copy protection on some things. This Weird Al dvd is one of them, as is most porn movies.

    Its not cost effective to put copy protect on anything as people just break it or dont buy it anywayz just to show their disagrement w/ copy protect...

    I think Macrovision copy protection costs about $25K for a license. Poor AL would have to sell 2,000 DVDs just to break even - highly unlikely. ;) I've seen most music video and concert DVDs are without any copy protection - simply a drag and drop onto your hard drive.

    Here's my 2 cents, Weird Al HATES copy protections and doesn't see the use of it, hence no protection on his cd's and dvd's.

    There's copy-protection on his "Straight Outta Lynwood" CD!
