If you make even one copy of a DVD, you should go to jail. According to our friends at the MPAA, you are a movie-stealing-scumbag-pirate if you want to make a legitimate back-up of a DVD you just bought for $19.99.
"When a consumer can voluntarily expand the rights that come with one of those services in essence open the door to multiple copies of a work not licensed for that that eliminates any monetization models except one: selling full use rights to the work at one fixed price," says the Copyright Alliance on the MPAAs behalf. If you want a DVD you can make copies of then the "price point" must be higher to reflect "expanded use rights."
