Ripper Softwares Closed

Question

Hello,

I actually have two general questions about these ripper softwares:

1- Does using Windows DVD ripper application softwares (like DVD Shrink or D
VD Decrypter etc.,) damages/corrupts your DVD reader?

2- What is the legal status upon using such softwares? (Most of these softwares are either freewares or sharewares) and I' wondering what are the legal issues on the subject.

Thanks for your answers.

Hi Fair Lady 

Here what I think :

1) Ripper softwares don't corrupt or damage your DVD reader. I think that damages received by your DVD reader will depends on how often you use your reader.

2) I'm not an expert on legal status of those softwares, but I think It's legal to use it, if it's only for a personal use (copy back up, and so on)..
If you use those sofware for copy and distributing data that illegal, so you are a CRIMINAL booooooo (lol) 
Anyway, that's my point of view, and what I'm think about.
see you
