I know this is an old thread, but Jack, the large portion of the price when you buy a CD or DVD is the RIGHTS to material, not the medium itself. A single blank CD or DVD is maybe a dollar or two.

When you buy a coffee maker, you're buying the physical insturment, not the right to use it.

So why is making a copy of a DVD for my own use a felony?

If it is, that would be a tough one to prosecute. However, it could violate your licensing agreement. As a licensee, you have limited rights of ownership. Similar to software. Hard for many of us to believe , but true.
