I think the Betamax* case would protect the analog backup for personal time shifting, but I would have let it go if people didn't keep posting :-) Another guess is that as long as we're not violating the DMCA by circumventing control mechanisms in our ripping, that there isn't a law expressly prohibiting it. So, would holding shift while inserting a disc to defeat auto-run, thus skipping the data track, be circumvention?
