    I thought people already were allowed to make their own copy of media they owned.

      Copyright law allows you to make a personal backup, but DMCA law prevents you from breaking encryption. Since you almost always have to break encryption to back up a DVD/BR, that’s always kinda been a fuzzy legal area.
