That's good to know.  I recently bought a bunch of used DVDs, and some 
of them are in kind of rough shape.  I haven't felt the need to make 
copies of any of my DVDs up to this point, but I think I may need to 
copy those, and perhaps a few others I'd regret having to buy again if 
they failed... :)
