You want to look for info on the US Copyright law, and it's provision of "Fair Use"

Start here:

US Copyright Office

Technically, the way I see it anyway, under the DMCA, DVD burning itself is not illegal. It's the breaking or circumventing of the disk's encryption that is breaking the law (DMCA). Otherwise, DVD-BACKUPS fall under the fair use category.

Look around, there is tons of info.
