I'll try to find a link, but the fact is that, even if you own the DVD and it is being copied for backup purposes, breaking the macrovision copy protection (which you have to do to copy the disk) is illegal. End of story. I know it sucks, but that's just how it is. Again, I agree with you, but I'm just looking out for the best interest of aximsite.

Not exactly. It isn't breaking Macrovision that is illegal... but breaking the CSS encryption.
There
is a completely legal way to convert your DVDs for playback on PCs. If you have a TV tuner/Video capture card, you can connect a DVD player to it and use your PVR software to record it on your PC. Of course the quality won't be as high as a digital rip, but it
is completely legal.
