If you have the dvd you have the right to do copies for yourself.
Long story short, don't bother yourself and just download the movie, won't
be pirating since you own it.
In my opinion it is a much faster and simpler solution.
While that *may* be technically true, in some circumstances, that
doesn't stop you from being automatically identified and punished as an
illegal downloader. If your country or ISP punishes movie downloaders
from non-legal *sources*, I wouldn't do that.
As far as Thomas is concerned, I haven't tried this with copyguarded
DVDs, but if you can play the disc with something like VLC, it can
stream what it can play to a file. The stream should be the decoded
version, not the scrambled data directly from the disc.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
