Actually, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes it illegal to produce or distribute technology that can circumvent measures taken to protect copyrighted materials. \n\nThe act of bypassing the encryption security measures is itself illegal under the DMCA. Case in point: it is illegal to sell software that can bypass the security put in place on DVDs, even if the user only wants to be able to watch DVDs that they have purchased on their own computer. \n\nThe legal question is whether "selling information" counts as "producing or disseminating technology". If the court finds that it does, then DMCA applies.\n\nSeveral companies have gone out of business already for providing software that allow someone to produce copies of their DVDs, because the software violated the DMCA, even though the court granted that the consumer has the right to make the copy. It's an odd paradox.

I don't think you can, not leagaly anyway. Why would want to, it's huge and you can have the DVD (incase something goes wrong) for less than $200.

Probably can, but please don't. It's theft, pure and simple and just makes prices on DVDs higher for everyone else who obeys the law.

Can I copy them?  Yes.\nIf they are already pirated the copy protection is probably already removed.\nMost any dvd burner in a computer can do it with the proper software.\nIt is generally illegal to copy dvd's.

try this RipIt4Me\nget here\nhttp://www.ripit4me.org/\n\nRipIt4Me is a freeware utility that helps you backup your copy protected DVDs.\n\nRecently released DVDs are now very often equipped with stronger copy protections - such as ARccOS™ and RipGuard DVD. Programs like DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter cannot handle these types of discs.\n\nWith the help of RipIt4Me, ripping these DVDs will be a very easy task. The program is fully automated and the wizard will guide you through all the necessary steps involved. If you prefer, there is also a true "1-Click" mode that will perform all the involved steps automatically for you.

That's piracy if you're copying rented movies.  I would find something slightly more legal if I were you.
