Damn! Well, I'd be breaking the law right now. I routinely copy DVDs from home onto my laptop so that I can watch them when I'm away on business (I'm away for a month at a time, and I don't want to carry the original DVDs with me).
I also use it to watch out of region disks on my laptop. My Laptop's drive is set for Region 2 and I can't find any files to reflash it as region free. As a result, I used DVD Decrypter to copy the disk to the hard drive, strip the region code and then play it back.
So all of this would be illegal?! :-(
If you own the original disk and the copy's use is intended only for personal, no problem (if you COULD PROVE THIS).
BTW: don't giveaway the copy, that's illegal in any place of the world (maybe not in some Asian countries, who knows).
