I've got literally 2 drawers full of dvd's I own and because they aren't easily accessable I end up not watching most of them. If I could get them on my computer so I could watch them then that would be good. It would also give me the ability to stream them to the other tv's in the house.
I'm the same, I just want to put DVDs and Blu Rays on my server, while the originals are kept at the back of a cupboard.
As I'm sure you know, the legal minefield really applies to the decryption, rather than the copying.
Worry is, the better rippers will often 'phone home' to their own website, to get decryption keys. That opens up a whole new avenue for getting caught, even though you are not doing anything that I would class as morally wrong.
Personally, these days, I just don't do it.
