Quok writes "Yahoo has the scoop. The article is short on details, but it seems the MPAA have succeeded in getting an injunction issued against 321 Studios, the makers of the popular DVD X Copy software, which allows consumers to make backup copies of DVD movies. Strike one for fair use."

Always trampling on my fair use rights. If I want to watch a movie on my GNU/Linux boxen, why cant i??? Besides being free as in speach, they don't get virii and BSODs all the time like my roommates M$ Windows^H^H^H^Hblows, so its more likely I can watch the whole movie in one sitting.
