Wait, what exactly are you arguing for? Scratches are always the fault of the user, of course, but so what? So long as he owns it, he is legally entitled to make a backup copy.

Anyways, DVD Shrink is the way to go. Can't get around the encryption algorithm of some movies out there, but for 90% of them, it works fine.

if you want a back up then buy a second copy.

She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

There is a really useful tool that all uber-l337 pros use; its called google

DVD Shrink is free software, and can be easily found to dl. AnyDvd and the other software pieces mentioned are available for purchase, but can be found otherwise, as with any other piece of software.

If any of you want to go the legit way, there are also a plethora of utilities available for decoding the raw data on a DVD disc and encoding it again onto a backup, but that is a bit more involved of a process.

what bothers me is that so many people are clueless to the fact it is illegal....and see nothing wrong with what they are doing.
