There needs to be a lot of copyright reform legisltation to bring the law into the digital age, unfortunately the RIAA and MPAA will likely write it.
I can't find the exact link, but I believe they had insinuated that ripping CDs or DVDs for use on a PMP might not be fair use in their eyes. No doubt they are lobbying for that to be spelled out in any future legislation.
This industry has survived and proffited by forcing users to upgrade their favorite movies and to new formats all the time, ie VHS to DVD to Blu-Ray, or Record to Cassette to CD to (they hope) digital. They are very scared by the ease and lossless nature of the conversion, copying and use of the digital files. From the looks of their archaic business model, they should be.
