The last time I ripped anything, I used Handbrake / VLC on PC. However, anymore, I crowd source my media ripping needs (cough... Bittorrent... cough), or I just buy DRM-free digital content. I refuse to buy DRM-encumbered music and such because I want to be free to use whatever platform I want to play them.
Thankfully, iTunes music (both bought and ripped from CDs) is completely DRM-free, and as I'm cautious of the law, I stay away from torrents and I buy legally all the time and/or rip my DVDs. I think that although DVD ripping is definitely not condoned, when you're just shifting it on the platform of your choice and not distributing it, it's legal in the same way CD ripping is. I would rip my Blu-rays, but I don't have the money for a drive and decent software for Mac, and if I didn't want them to look like shit the movies would be 50 GB in size on my 500 GB hard drive.

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
