Re: I'm a criminal, huh? Frankly, I don't give a rats-ass what they say.. as long as the copy of the DVD is FOR MY FAMILIES USE and NOT TO GIVE AWAY OR SELL, I'm gonna keep copying.. It's called Civil Disobedience, some of you may have heard of it.. Its used to protest stupid unfair laws like THIS ONE.. Try it, you might like it.. Of course it DOES require a backbone, something which I fear is sorely lacking in a lot of today's American people... |

They could invoke the Patriot Act and you'd be considered a "terrorist".
Welcome to communism.

I'm afraid you are mistaken in your reading of this. It says you are legally allowed to make a backup copy of software for archival purposes, basically in case the original is damaged so that you can reinstall the licensed software.
It does not cover making backup/archival copies of audio/video content (video DVDs). In fact it says exactly the opposite:

What you are doing is not Civil Disobedience. The whole idea of Civil Disobedience is to openly violate a law in front of the authorities, and force them to deal with you, to effect change. Ripping/cracking DVDs in your house with no one watching is nothing like Civil Disobedience. Don't glorify what you are doing.
If you really want to "show backbone" and "protest", set up your DVD burner on a table outside the US Copyright Office, and do your thing. |

Welcome to communism.
Communism would be if the government takes all copyrighted material and gives it away to the public for free. Not sure what definition of communism you're using.

Technically, a DVD is digital software running on a computerized device. Same can be said about Bluray due to Java applets being on the Bluray itself and players having the built-in Java software running it.

Wrong, DVD has no software on it, all it has is media which is then interpreted by a piece of software on the device. So in this situation you have the right to backup your firmware but not your DVD. |

It's a set of inputs which is then processed to make outputs...it's software. |
