Copying DVDs?


I have recently gotten a spate of email spam from people claiming to sell software (or something) that allows me to copy DVD (movies, presumably) onto my CD burner, then play them back in my DVD player.

Is anyone aware of this? Is it something that can be done anyway with no special software? What are the downsides?

I saw a small report on the news a few months back about copying movies that are in the theater now to a dvd. It was mostly kids using college computers. I dont know what kind of equipment you need but I understand it is very expensive.

They just downloaded movies off the internet. I dont know where to get the info but they were showing them doing it with current in the theater movies.

As far as legal rights I always thought that if it was for your own use it was legal but a judge didnt feel that way when it came to napster.
