From June 1st it will now be, at long long long last!!, legal for you to rip a copy of any music, films, and even e-books that you’ve already bought.

You have always had the right to make a "backup copy" of any software you bought, but not when it comes to Entertainment media like movies or music!

Also for the first time a "Fair Use" exception to UK copyright law has been created, for the purposes of review / critiquing.

So does this mean that the DVD producers will now have to remove protection to allow people to make a copy as they will be entitled to?

Wasn't there a thread about this same subject just last week? (I may be thinking of another forum, of course).
