Actually, I think it's illegal under the DMCA to copy DVDs--because you're breaking the encryption. It's certainly illegal to release software that breaks the (admittedly shoddy) encryption.

Of course, whether this provision of the DMCA is constitutional or not is another matter...




Ya, doing almost anything with movie DVD's is looked at as illegal or grey area at best.

I don't give a rats behind thou and do what I want. DVD Decrypter, AutoGK and DVD Shrink are my partners in crime.

That said... I think Microsoft is pushing/has pushed Blu-Ray and HD-DVD to allow you to copy those movies to your hard disk. Still some details to be known but it does look promising from the hardware standpoint... now the MPAA is another story...
