This Is How You Record a TV With a Camcorder So You’re Just an MPAA Toolbag, Not a Pirate
12:00PM Matt Buchanan | No clever invective needed: It’s an instructional video from the MPAA showing how to record a TV screen for classroom clips, instead of ripping a DVD. I think they really mean it, too. =( [BoingBoing] More »
