DVD copying isn't permissible under US law - even for personal backup

There is no legal method to backup a DVD that you own. It feels so wrong that you cannot move a piece of media from point A to point B.
Guess the theory is - if you buy a DVD and it breaks - you have to go buy another one. (Seems like a rock solid business model.)

I don't condone stealing content from media networks, but when a piece of media is legitimately owned - there is no limit to what one should be able to do with it.
