No exemptions for ripping, modding.
The U.S. Copyright Office periodically consults the public for possible exemptions to copyright laws in the country. For example, jailbreaking smartphones is exempt from the DMCA due to a previous review on how the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) affects consumers' legal use of electronics and content.

Sadly, the U.S. Copyright Office has rejected both requests this time around, and predictably, piracy is the root of its objections.
This is incorrect. Greed is the root of its objections. There is no reason to ban people from using readily available tools to transfer their legally purchased material from one device to another... unless you want them to pay for a new copy of that material for every device they want to play it on.
It would be pretty silly if they actually believed that this will stop a single real pirate from making copies.

If I buy a DVD, I always make a backup copy. To bad if they don't like it. They can lock me up and give me free room and board, three squares a day and healthcare. There's not enough room in our jails to do this, let alone pay for it. Also, how many citizens break laws every day? Millions if you consider those who pay no attention to highway/road speed limits, no parking signs, and whole plethora of unenforceable laws on the books.

Nothing is illegal until you get cough and the people with no money are the only ones that go to prison; including many no guilty.

Legal aid for lazy people you mean. I'm in Australia and because of the generous welfare, you get many people who don't work and they just bludge off the system.

It's very true, not all are plain lazy... But many are. We know this, unfortunately lazy bastards working the system can still vote and it would be political suicide to mention it
some people are alive because it's illegal to kill them...

Agreed... I'll just keep doing the best I can, and keep fighting... As for the article, it won't stop many just make it harder to distribute the software for it. ( or is the software legal to have, just not use?).
some people are alive because it's illegal to kill them...

Anyone who makes a backup copy of a DVD should demand to be locked up with health care, food and a extra blanket.Instant over the top extreme over crowding. Then watch the high muckity mucks squirm.
