I did that recently... it works great. :)

our admin asst asked if I ever found a copy of her favorite movie (which I owned), for under $$ to let her know.... So when my brother gave me some freebies that I didn't want, I snuck it in the stack and bought me a new copy. :) she was extremely pleased, and none the wiser that there was one gift in with the other freebies. :)

Why? Isn't it his right to own/ceate a backup?

theoretically it used to. The modern digital copyright laws do not allow this for copy-protected material. See the suit against dvd-xcopy commercial software.

fair use is dead. there are no good consumer advocate groups left.

This is only because far too many people have been brainwashed by big business into surrendering their rights.

The problem is people are just too lazy and/or don't give a smeg about their rights.

The law is in conflict, because we are ALLOWED to make personal backup copies of things we own - However, stupid things like the DMCA state we cannot bypass copy protection, although it doesn't say we loose our fair use rights.

Of course, it's usually impossible to make a personal backup copy without bypassing copy protection, so effectively we've lost yet another right. Once people forget they have the right it will be quietly taken away like so many other little liberties.
Frankly, IMHO bypassing copy protections in order to make a fair use backup should be legal, but since laws are now created to cater to big business and not the good of the comman man I can't see this happening until some sort of revolution occurs...

For DVDs however, you don't need to get into this grey area - If you do a direct raw copy, you can easily do a copy.
If it's one of these new ones which try to defeat raw copying (And, incidentally, are illegal since they are marked with the DVD logo when they don't actually conform to DVD standards), then you may have more trouble 'tho...

I don't agree, there are a lot of people that are creating tools to defeat copy protection, like alcohol 120% or even better, freeware like daemon tools. I, personally, use these tools in a regular basis. Am I breaking laws in the process? Absolutely. Civil disobedience is the mother of civil movements.
