The reason copy protection exists on the disc because while you do own the disc itself, you don’t own what’s on the disc, because if you did, you could theoretically modify what happens in the film. When you purchase a disc, you are actually purchasing a lifetime license to watch the film, not the film itself. Breaking the encryption is a violation of Title I of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Since the discs are pressed and last forever, there is no need to make a backup copy that will degrade over time. I don’t think you are allowed to promote illegal playback methods on this forum.
