So is it okay to rip DVDs and Blu Rays?

Perfectly legal 

 

 

 

 

... As long as you never get caught.

In very general terms, if you own the movie then you can do whatever tf you want to with it besides sell the copies or distribute them of any kind.

I don't think it was Sony's idea, the Red Book standard states that audio CDs shouldn't have copy protection, and audio CDs that do, are not allowed to have the CDDA logo on them.

I was referring to this:

That's weird, and a dumb move from Sony.

Basically I am in the process of setting up my HTPC, and what I would like to do is be able to backup all my movies and put them on my hard drive. I want to use Kodi to be able to play them. I guess I just dont want to break the law. I try to be very careful when it comes to this kind of stuff. I have never downloaded any music, movies or games. I try to be as legal as possible when it comes this kinda stuff. 

Just submitted my tip to the FBI, hope you like jail.

Technically, yes, no matter where you are, there is some sort of technicality that says you will be fined upto xyz thousand dollars / euros / pound/ xyz currency.
