That is because of the bully tactics used by the movie studios. That skew the copyright law that anyone that buys a disc in store has the right to back up said disc. Also most of the public don't know of the wonderful products from Slysoft.

Hears how I see with DRM on its way out the publisher can place a whole pre ripped copy of the media on the disc for consumption by the more wooly masses, thos who are less wooly will know hot to make better rips and to rip it in the first place.

umm.. I'm pretty sure when I purchase a DVD there is already a copy on the disc for me to copy to my pc. It's unfortunate the average consumer is unaware they can do this themselves with a pc and a freeware app or two.
