Sure it is. The RIAA has argued that transferring a song from a purchased CD to an MP3 player should be a copyright infringement.
Uploading or viewing copyrighted video material counts as piracy no matter how you slice it.
I'm not stating my personal opinion, I'm stating a fact of copyright infringement, and thus piracy, and thus breach of rules.
If you go over to a friends house, put in the DVD and watch it with your friend, is that CopyRight Infringement?
Yes. the RIAA and MPA -tried- to argue that you cant make backups of your software. But -thankfully- our retarded court system has defended that right in most cases.
The more you know about how this works. The easier it is to defend yourself against the RIAA's bullshit. If your in the Car and your friend is listening to a cd, are you committing copyright infringement? No. So what if your friend is listening to a cd from 100 miles away, and your talking to him on the phone? Thats not copyright infringement either. So, I can listen to what your listening to, without worrying about CopyRight Infringement.
