And on the other hand - if he says the licensee can make no copies, but doesn't put copy-protection on the media, the person who bought the DVD can still legally back up his DVD for personal use, something that has existed since the Sony Betamax case, but became trickier since the DMCA disallowed circumventing copy protection.
