illegal to break the copyright protection on a DVD, but it's also legal to make back up copies.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't--because in order to make a back-up copy of your DVD, you have to break the copyright protection. I remember a couple years ago reading many a heated debate at the Home Theater Forum about how stupid it was that this government wouldnt' allow the consumers to protect their purchase by keeping a copy of their DVD for their OWN purpose. The only reason the cleanfilms people are getting around it is because it "protects the children" and that's about it. It's hypocritical politics exploiting a loophole. However, I doubt that line of reasoning would work when it comes to "I wanted original model and matte work in Star Wars." if push came to shove.
But yeah, it's not ever going to get that far, so you don't need a legal fund. And if it did get that far, the legal fund would be useless, because it's LUCASFILM.
