Apparently you didn't get the memo. Jack Valenti, the president of the MPAA, responded to this concern by pointing out that digital is forever. Therefore, there is no need to make a backup of your digital movies: http://www.hpronline.org/news/347207.html?mkey=628413 Besides, copying means that you are a pirate. Copying means that you are a bad person. Copying means that you will go to jail. If, by some odd chance, something bad happens to your original media, you can just go to Walmart and buy another copy. You see? It's simple! So there is really no need to make a backup.
