Interesting. So even something that just copies blocks of data, like |

I have no interest in tearing apart the DVD in any way. It was more |
| 21 |
about the idea of a fire causing the loss of maybe $15K-$20K |
| 22 |
investment over the years. I can rip all the CDs, keep the ripped |
| 23 |
version here to watch on the computer, and store the DVDs elsewhere, |
| 24 |
but that elimiates (generally) being able to watch special features |
| 25 |
which my wife and kid enjoy. |
