Legality
We've received a number of questions regarding legality over the
months, so we thought it might be helpful to add a little bit
elucidating upon the issue here.
First and foremost, Dirpy is used by people from around the world
and legality depends on many factors like one's location and its
according laws. Dirpy is simply offered as a service and it's up
to the individual user to determine the legality of their own
activities. We are not your lawyers and we cannot give you legal
counsel.
For users in the United States, and countries with similar laws,
using Dirpy as intended is perfectly legal.
Dirpy lets you record and store local versions of freely available
online media for personal use. To do this, Dirpy acts no
differently than
the Digital Video Recorder (DVR,
like TiVo or
MythTV) device
running in your living room. Digital Video Recorders capture media
and then let you convert and store it locally for personal
playback at a later time. This is exactly what Dirpy does (with
lots of great additional features).
So Dirpy is an advanced DVR for web content. Just as DVRs let you
record local versions of TV programming content for your later
viewing pleasure, Dirpy lets you record local versions of freely
available online media for your own personal uses.
