Actually I've been noticing a new warning on DVDs. It seems they have seperated Copying from Distributing in the warning. This implies that copying is a seperate offense which will be investigated by the FBI.

I seriously doubt though that the FBI is going to waste resources looking for people who copy DVDs to use on other devices while there are real criminals out there who not only copy but manufacture and distribute for cash bootleg DVD's.

Anybody planning on turning themselves in?

BOT: I use Fairuse but I don't have a copy of Oceans 12 to rip. Does it say anything about copy protection on your DVD? One tip I can share is to start the DVD in WMP to make sure it will play on your computer before you use your ripping software.
