Blu-Ray ripper program?

[RichieMK4Rich]

I was wondering if there were any good Blu-Ray ripper programs that anyone know of? I back up all my dvd's and cd's onto my home server just to have a copy and so that I could play it on any computer/home theater pc in the house.

Thanks in advance.

This really isn't the place to ask since ripping Blu-ray media involves bypassing DRM.

Do not discuss, suggest, engage, or encourage any illegal activity on the forums. Linking to locations that deal with any such activity is also forbidden.

I'd do a Google search.

Controversial topic, cause you don't know if one is actually using for personal use or shares it on a pirating website... I don't plan on using it for anything other than for personal usage, as I've stated before...obviously.

But I found what I was looking for..

I use Lifehacker's guides for making back-ups.

Thanks, that's what I found last night... pretty useful.

Actually, the industry considers making backups for personal use copyright infringement. They demand that people re-buy products.

The industry is just a bunch of greedy bastiches. Fair use allows for one copy kept as a backup. I can't wait until the copyright laws and fair use catch up with the technology, if it ever does.

Did you know that at one time singing a copyrighted song in public was considered a copyright violation? The laws eventually sorted it out so it's more sensible.

I'm not sure any of it is sorted out.

[GreenandChrome]

I'm not sure any of it is sorted out.

As of 2004, it's illegal to make backup discs of DVDs, I believe per the Supreme Court. So it IS sorted out on that front.

But speeding is illegal, too, so, y'know...

still illegal under your country's laws.

[RichieMK4Rich]

yeah pretty dumb... but what can I do...

I guess making back up of my music I bought and downloaded is illegal too.

generally, no. since it's not encrypted.

I'm not sure sure about that. I bet the industry will claim it's illegal to make backups of commercial audio CDs and CD audio is not an encrypted format.

Basically, if it doesn't involve re-buying the product when something goes wrong with it, it's illegal as far as the industry is concerned.

Why do you think optical discs come without a protective shell, especially console games designed for kids to play? They come that way because the industry wants them to get damaged and have to be replaced.

DMCA prohibits circumventing encryption/copy protection. CDs do not have that. The problem is the mis-appropriation of the "fair use" clause.

The copyright issue here doesn't apply to music, because we rip CDs to iTunes, and load those files to iPods... which if that was illegal, RIAA would have shut Apple down a long time ago.

Why the legal world can't apply the same practice to movies is that nagging b*tch DMCA.

Um, no. We're talking about the RIAA here.

RIAA: Those CD rips of yours are still "unauthorized"

Those MP3 and AAC files that you've ripped from your CD collection are still "unauthorized copies" in the eyes of the recording industry. In a brief filed late last week, the RIAA said that the MP3 files on a PC owned by a file-sharing defendant who had admitted to ripping them himself were "unauthorized copies."

After several years of litigation and nearly 30,000 lawsuits, making a copy of a CD you bought for your own personal usage is still a concept that the recording industry is apparently uncomfortable with. During the Jammie Thomas trial this fall, the head of litigation from Sony BMG testified that she believed that ripping your own CDs is stealing.

When asked by the RIAA's lead counsel whether it was wrong for consumers to make copies of CDs they have purchased, Jennifer Pariser replied in the negative. "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song," said Pariser. Making "a copy" of a song you own is just "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'," according to Pariser.

At least the recording industry is consistent. Last year, during the triennial review of the DMCA by the US Copyright Office, the record labels made the case that although consumers could freely and easily make copies of music on CDs, doing so is not explicitly authorized by the labels. Since they have not expressly authorized copying—even for the purposes of making backups—the ability to make copies should not be mistaken for fair use.

Not worth it as blank bluray disks are more than $10 a piece (dual layer ones, which most movies use now).

Best program is DVDFab though.

Ok, I stand corrected. I knew RIAA always had a bug up their ass, but I haven't been really on the issues (obviously). I just find it odd that RIAA doesn't expressly allow it, but allow iTunes and other music apps conveniently rip your CDs for you. Or at least the lawsuits haven't been filed or settled.

what the RIAA wants to allow/disallow and what the law ACTUALLY allows/disallows are often two very different things.

What the law allows depends upon how much someone is paying... to politicians.

Making "a copy" of a song you own is just "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'," according to the RIAA's Pariser.

Yes, but RIAA is winning. From what I've read, copyrights cover music. Music industry has copyrighted the songs. Some copyrights grant making copies, only through express written consent. Therefore, making copies violates the copyright, and thusly, the copyright laws.

RIAA contends (and winning) that making a CD or copying a CD to your HDD is violating the copyright. Which is, according to common sense, f*cking retarded.

IP serfdom... get used to it, because it's one of the big projects of world government—mainly at the behest of the US. SOPA and PIPA are just two pieces to a very large, and expanding, puzzle. ACTA, for instance, was only made public knowledge because of a leak. The negotiations were intended to be kept from public view.

Everything is going to be copyrighted (let's ignore the patent mess for a moment) and the copyrights are going to last forever. The Supreme Court even cleared the way for the public domain to be copyrighted! Fair use is going to go the way of the dodo.
