Backups are not legally possible with DVD or VHS at the commercial level and
never has been. VHS has Macrovision which prevents duplication and DVD has
encryption.

You may not play your DVD is a CD player or VHS or Laser Disc deck...

You can sell the disc at any time you want to anyone you want... why would
you not be able to?

So many people just have some bad information about the technology it blows
me away. Though, I do agree that you have every right to be nervous about
it and as such, should wait to make any purchases if this is a problem. I
strongly suggest others do as well. I know that I have a problem taking a
gamble on all of it, but I like some decent gaming and my PS2 has treated me
well, so I'll get a PS3 and have Blu-ray and be happy and protected no
matter what happens.
