A couple months ago, I didn't buy a cheap Blu-ray drive and did not download MakeMKV. Since I did not do this, I can't report on how great it is.

In the US it is a grey area. I think they should be more explicit and allow you to make a copy on a different medium as long as you aren't sharing it outside of a household.

If someone actively engages in piracy they should be subject to a small and reasonable fine similar to a speeding ticket.
