I'm in the US, and the DMCA explicitly forbids it, but there's been some contrary rulings on this that make it a bit unclear. [1] I am not a lawyer, so I'm not

    DMCA doesn't specify a precise takedown period; service providers are simply required to "respond expeditiously" to takedown requests. What that means is a matter of interpretation, but seems to err on the generous side; the only case I'm aware of where a court found that a removal was insufficiently "expeditious" was one where it took seven months for the service provider to respond (Perfect 10 v. Google).

  Who really cares about DMCA? If you’re copying discs you bought and aren’t sharing those copies, who would even know you did it? I view it as more of a way to theoretically throw the book at someone caught sharing than a way to imprison people who make personal copies.

    It matters for anti-circumvention, where they can go after people that make tools that allow you to make personal copies.

      And how effective has it really been? All the usual tools are still out there, notably MakeMKV.
