The law says you can’t. You have a license for one copy of the movie, to be played via whatever medium you bought it on. You absolutely cannot legally copy it.

If your solution is “just break the law”, there are an enormous number of problems you could get past.
- shmerl 2y agoThe law that's nonsense can say anything it wants, no one will follow it anyway - i.e. it's self defeating. DMCA 1201 shouldn't exist too for the reference. Its proponents are all corrupt crooks. I already mentioned the solution above - start selling video DRM free. Repealing junk laws like DMCA 1201 is just a bonus to that.
- kulahan 2y agoAgain, you’re not really figuring anything out if the only way around a problem in your eyes is “just break the law”. No duh - that works for 90% of problems. And if the other half is throwing up your hands and hoping the companies with a vested interest and legitimate use cases will randomly stop, I have bad news about the likelihood of that succeeding.
- shmerl 2y agoOf course DRM proponents will never stop this garbage themselves. But people don't need to oblige these crooks and their corrupt laws. As above, nonsense laws are self defeating either way and proponents of 1984 style thought police can move along.
