You are wrong about transfer of knowledge being allowed - it is not. The DMCA even creates a "thought crime" - it is a felony to "conceive of a method" of circumventing copy protection.

Doubtless much of the DMCA will eventaully be overturned by the high court, but that would not be much comfort if you had been imprisoned in the mean time...

The DOOM9 forum is a non-USA resource on which there is discussion of open source DVD ripping resources...
