DVD ripping vs CD ripping

I think someone in the portable media player industry needs to take a stand on DVD ripping for mobile viewing. They should provide tools to copy DVDs to their media player and dare the movie houses to respond. It's silly to suggest that I can copy this (music) disc for personal use on the go, but not this (movie) disc when I own both of them.

I think the main argument at the moment is that they have set up systems to keep you from doing so, and breaking those systems has become illegal.

PS - It's not a popular argument.
PPS - But I'm sure they'd do the same to CDs if they had the chance.
