Not everyone lives in the USA As anti-DRM circumvention laws are a requirement of membership of the WTO, there are very few functioning countries that do not have them. The US law is not exceptional, nor even particularly stringent in this area.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 5y agoI'm pretty sure you are allowed to "rip dvds" (and circumvent their protection in the process) to do so, for backup, in Italy. I think it might apply to the whole EU, but I could be wrong
- Mindwipe 5y agoNo, you aren't. Italy has an anti-circumvention law that expressly prohibits this, and that law is a codification of an EU directive common across the entire EU. You are allowed backup unprotected DVDs in Italy, but not protected ones.
