What is the workaround for regionally locked DVDs?
My beloved Mighty Boosh DVDs can't be played in the USA! WHAT CAN I DO!?! FYI I've had some wine and I can't googly it properly

If you were somewhere else you could use MakeMKV to break the region lock/DRM on the disc and give you playable files. Unfortunately, within the USA (depending on who you ask) cracking DRM is illegal. Though I am not aware of anyone ever being prosecuted for breaking DRM on discs for personal use copies of media they legally own. IANAL
Do we give a fuck? Do it OP
If anyone knows, has this been proven in court if it's done to rip a copy of something you own?
Realistically nobody's coming after you for that unless you do it on an industrial scale for profit
I know. It's still a valid question because it affects how the devs for ripping programs implement stuff.
