    In the USA at least, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act made circumventing copy protection mechanisms illegal. Basically every DVD and Blu-ray disc implements those, so every backup copy we make is illegal even though it should be covered by fair use.

    They stripped us of our rights and made protecting our purchases illegal through the back door, so we have the moral obligation to ignore that law.
