Copying write-protected dvd

does it really matter what the case is? If i want to copy a dvd for a back up who in the world can stop me or do anything about it?

This. The laws are so weird everywhere. If I want to make a legit copy so I can protect the original and let the copy get beat up, than I should be able to. If I bought it, I should have some rights of usage other than just playing it.

Yep, it's called "Fair Use", and looks like it's gonna be adopted in the UK in the near future. It's already part of law in other European countries.

can't see any reason for this ancient thread to stay open
