Would this service be of value?
I just purchased a 7.1 NAV DVD. I typically backup the DVD and keep the original squirrled away in my safe deposit box for safe keeping and run off the copy. That way the original stays safe.
Not everyone has the ability to create the backup as permitted by the DMCA so they typically run off the original copy.
So I was wondering if there was a market for NAV DVD archiving service?
For a modest fee a backup copy of the current NAV DVD could be supplied to you which would then permit you to keep your original in a safe place like I do.
To prevent this service being used to obtain illegtimate copies as low cost the subscriber to the service would have to state they do have the original in their posession.
Perhaps faxing or emailing an image of their DVD like the one attached? Maybe?
Curious.

Re: Would this service be of value?
I would be interested.
I would also be interested in a hybrid disk which combines the ability of being able to access the screen when the car is moving. I'm not stupid enough to do this by myself, but when my wife and I travel, I ask her to input the data as we drive. I have version 5 and know the sequence which allows entry at all times.
I have not purchased an update, since I don't want to lose the ability for my wife to enter data as I drive.
I wish big brother Toyota would rethink their attitude on this.

If someone were to make a hybrid 7.1 disk, I would bet they would end up with the agree screen back again.
Not something I would want.

What is there to stop me from taking your picture of the DVD running it through Photoshop or some such program changing it just a little then sending it to you as a copy of "my DVD" and getting you to make a copy of your DVD for me?
Just like the attached image.
Thus I end up with an illegitimate copy after all for a very low cost.
A nice thought, but not a viable enterprise I would say.
Best regards

Actually ... absolutely nothing. You wouldn't even need to run it through PhotoShop. Imagine that.

How is this "Keeping Toyota Solvent"?

No different than sending a copy of your wedding pictures taken by a professional photographer off to Kodak for copies. They will gladly do it only if you provide them a written statement that you have the rights to the photo. If you lie to them they could care less.

I think you are mis-reading DMCA. You don't have the ability to make an archival copy because someone else purchased something.
It's been tried before, unsuccessfully. (I'm just making copies for Bob as a backup!) Didn't work. That's why no legitimate company will do it for you.
Nice try though!
