Joey, keeping in mind that pfeerick is a law-student in Australia, in the United States even "ripping" your DVD(s) is illegal ! ... in fact, in many jurisdictions even owning the software that allows you to "rip" your DVD(s) is illegal ! ... under DCMA, and DRM.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a card carrying member of the FSF and I stand strictly in opposition to those two laws...
Keep in mind if you provide a mini torrent to your dorm its not fair use...
... if you provide a small distribution to your neighborhood friends, its not fair use...
... if you distribute to even ONE person in the public sphere, it is not fair use...
My words of warning for you are don't discuss your fair use intentions on-line; and don't announce that you are using "ripping" software to rip-off the arts industry on-line; if you live in the United States the FBI will be calling on you...
... words to the wise.
