    I believe ripping your DVDs is technically illegal because breaking CSS is a violation of the DMCA. It is quite easy to do though. MakeMKV is great.

      There is actually a DMCA exemption (1201) for ripping DVD’s and bypassing the DRM for copyright that falls under fair-use otherwise. The Librarian of Congress has the power to grant these exemptions to the DMCA and grants quite a few other things. Exemption to Prohibition on Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems for Access Control Technologies

      These exemptions are good until October 2024 but just like previously, the same exemptions and perhaps even more will likely continue.

        Huh, I guess I’m not the bad-boy who plays by his own set of rules that I kept telling myself I was.

        Thanks for the correction.

        the prohibition against circumvention of technological measures that effectively control access to copyrighted works shall not apply for the next three years to persons who engage in certain noninfringing uses of certain classes of such works.

        Do they define “noninfringing uses” anywhere?
