dvd burning

[fritoman]

Ok so I bought what I consider a kickass computer with a dvd burner and light scribe, so I thought hey now I can make copys of all my dvds so I can have them back in the computer room and in the living room at the same time, BUT everytime I try and copy them it says they are copy right protected, I realize they are but I thought I could make a copy for myself as backup, is this not the case? so if anyone has any ideas on how I might accomplish what i want to do let me know.

oh and heres the specs. on the puter.
