I think we can reasonably conclude that we all have broken copyright laws. Despite what people claim, there is no right to copy or modify any movie or music you 'buy'. Hollywood extensively seeks to keep movie filters from being implemented by parents... They have successfully sued companies that bought copies of tapes (so hollywood gets the revenue) and edited the movies to the rating the person requests. That has been decided in the courts as copyright violation. I don't think there is any right to personal backup, but every consumer acknowledges that there should be. In fact my copies are better than the originals because Nero allows you to add CD text... Is that two counts of copyright infringement? Copying and modifying? I use copies for the car so the originals don't get scratched... and the car is the only place I listen...

As regards US copyright law, you could only conclude that if you didn't understand it. The only legal issue with making an archival copy of a DVD that you own is with the DMCA and copy protection. Copying and modifying the work is different because it's considered a derivative work and that's not the same as an archival copy.
