DVD ripping software has nothing to do with putting content online or on a server, this is about DVD backups, not putting content online.
This is why when it goes to trial the consumer will win.

Anti-piracy advocates may applaud the ruling, but tech analyst Brennon Slattery noted that RealDVD wasn't made for mass-ripping DVDs. It only let users rip and store one copy of a movie on their hard drive, and if users wanted to save additional copies elsewhere, they would have to pay a fee.
"It's perfectly legal to rip music from a CD and upload it onto an iPod for personal use," Slattery said. "Why can't a person do the same with their own copies of movies? The assumption is that everyone using a program such as RealDVD is a criminal bent on ripping as many Netflix movies as possible, rather than a law-abiding citizen who simply wants to watch flicks on the go."

I know porn people who produce content applaud this type of stuff, but dont confuse putting stolen content online with making personal backups.
This would be akin to a content producer claiming you cannot make a copy of the content you bought on more than one harddrive.
