If a digital edition will never exist, you think disabled people shouldn't download the pirate version, even though the pirate version will not hurt the artist because there is no legal legitimate version (in this case a DVD) and the disabled person cannot give money to the artist in the approved way (in this case live shows) because they are disabled?"
Now that clearly talks about downloading the pirate version and not being legitimate which is what I was referring to... I never accused ana of doing anything other than approving (or not disapproving) of such acts... next time you want specifics, read the damn thread yourself one word at a time so that you understand it before jumping up and down in mock outrage...

In the United States, a visually impaired person doing this would not be committing copyright infringement. The person providing the copy would not as well. However any copies they provided to non-impaired persons would still be infringements. No permission from the copyright holder is required.
That's part of the DMCA I like.
