Sorry if this is dumb, I’m very new to this. I’d like to create a collection of DVDs with digital backups and since I’m paranoid about legality, I read through my country’s copyright act. It’s the standard “you can have a personal copy so long as you own the original and don’t break copy protection”. I tried researching if that could be done, but only come up with how to break copy protection. Is it possible to rip and maintain it? Does the law just make ripping defacto illegal?
