Another form of getting content is ripping, which has a bad reputa- tion due to its illegal distribution of commercial content via peer-to- peer networks. Ripping is characterized as: • converting or extracting data from one format to another; and/or • copying physical media that is more useful to the user. Typical examples include converting audio from a compact disc to MP3 fi les, or scenes from a DVD to MPEG4 fi les. The actual conversion process is straightforward from the UI perspective, not requiring any fancy controls. Since the task involves drives for physical media as well as lots of processing power and memory for transcoding, it is often done with desktop computers. There is a form of ripping that requires more user involvement and aids from the system. This is related to, for instance, capturing images and text snippets from documents (such as WWW pages) and inserting them into other documents that are in a more convenient format (such as ASCII text). This kind of ripping requires the system to support clipboard functions (copy and paste). Finally, getting new content leads always – immediately or later – to other phases of GEMS. An example of these tasks could be capturing
