when a monkey could see the difference in that nothing was distributed to others when a personal backup is made of one's own media

How do you think the person who makes a backup got the tool with which to do it? Somebody broke Sec. 1201 of the DMCA by distributing a circumvention tool. The person making the backup then violates the same section of the law by using it.

clearly in desperation of your failing defense of the foreign hackers you support who distributed a crack of Apple's OSX to the world at large

Kind of like the hackers who distributed the tools to crack the DVD DRM and got sued by the content owners for doing it?

You just haven't explained why a backup of a DVD is legal, and breaking HD-DVD, PDF and OS X are illegal.

As I have already said several times, find a case history of someone being criminally charged for making backups of their own media, else the record will continue to show you once again knowingly and willfully lied by referring to such actions as criminal in post 45, and all the deceitful tripe you've posted in this thread ever since.
