Not true, so long as you keep the copies to yourself. You can (per fair use) copy the dvd to your hard drive, your pda, and play it in your dvd player. You can't put that copy up on a P2P service and expect not to get in trouble though.

Really? With video games, that's always been a controversial thing - many say having a "backup" if you own the game is fine. I've always argued that since the manuals of most games say that backups "aren't necessary" and "are unauthorized" it meant that any form of copying was bad... and I applied those same thoughts to DVDs and movies.
