I am not sure what the background is but I borrowed a dvd from the library. When I attempted to play it I found it had a crack and was unplayable. I returned it and noted its condition. Two days later I was informed a working version was available - it was a COPIED dvd. They had somehow made a copied dvd. Now, I don't know what the Library of Congress has permitted - can public libraries replace damaged dvd's with their own copies? Or are they suppose to buy new ones like the rest of us?
