ripping CDs is legal, ripping DVDs is not?

[silvarios]

I wrote an article or two or three for Low End Mac dealing with such issues of DMCA restrictions and circumvention. I'm aware of the consequences, but I have so far been happy to completely ignore copyright restrictions when it comes to the restriction of "fair use". I've ripped plenty of DVDs for personal use. In fact, I've quite publicly discussed the fact that I "break the law" every time I play a DVD on my Linux systems.

Come get me.

C'est la vie.
