Real Networks Offers Legal DVD Ripping: Really!

It's not that DVD ripping hasn't been done before. It has, plenty of times, including products such as AnyDVD or or DVDFab.

Besides the obvious (meaning ripping the DVD so you can make a copy), ripping has other advantages: lower power consumption, no need to drag the DVD around, and (hopefully) a more reliable copy than an optical disc.

But these products have always removed the DRM from the image, however, making their use not necessarily legal, and putting users on the wrong side of the DMCA.
