I'm one of those guys that copy my DVDs on a regular basis. I'm rarely at home and very seldom have a chance to sit down and watch a movie on TV, so I rip it down to a DIVX file and carry it on a USB drive. That way I can watch movies in my hotel room or on the plane at my convenience. I do always purchase the original disk, and would never give away the files to anyone, however I have been known to loan the DVD to friends from time to time. Legal or not? Who knows in these facist times, but I paid my dues and want to watch my movie without having to haul around a case of 100+ disks. Bravo Canada for allowing fair use copying.
Now, how do I rip Blu-Ray?
