With regards to DVDs, the DMCA covers specifically the circumvention of copy protection. It seems to me that fair use still applies for simply making a "copy." Someone in the US could always send out their DVD to another country where it can be decrypted and copied, receiving both the original and copy back. Now you'll have your fair use copy without ever having touched the copyrighted encryption. smile Just make sure you don't pay for the service.
