No. Just presenting an alternate viewpoint to try to get some discussion going.

Copying movies and audio for private use isn’t illegal in Australia - the copyright owner would need to sue in civil court - so while such copying is unethical it is a legitimate area for discussion (since you raised it).

Since the movie people encourage people in Australia to make their own copies (by not making them available to buy for many months after they are available elsewhere and then by charging several times as much as they charge elsewhere) then it is rather ridiculous that they then try to get the law changed to make it illegal to do what they themselves encouraged in the first place.
