I don't think this forum condones illegal activity such as the cracking of programs.
Also, your grammar is atrocious. I recommend re-reading what you type so you make sure your writing is coherent.

you don't need a Windows box to rip a DVD...actually, i think Linux does it a bit better

What's a good program to rip DVDs in Linux? I remember using one, but it did not even compare to DVD Shrink in regards to ease of use.
It doesn't matter much, since I would rarely need to rip a DVD. I'm just a bit curious as to what programs you use.

I think it is called DVD :.rip, the linux prog. oh, and ps, dvd shrink works alone IMHO

dvdshrink is the crappiest piece of software if have ever seen. the output generated by it is UGLY. cce for the win!

In my country it is not forbidden to make a copy of _any_ media for _your own_. But selling illegal copies is penalised pretty hard.

DRGH

In my country, it is illegal to crack programs and use them or whatever..

But you know the FBI warnings at the start of videos "This dvd may not be reproduced without monetary gain and will be prosecuted blah" Well, the way I see it, you can sell it, but that sounds even more wrong... I am so confused ... Maybe I read the warning wrong :/
Anyway, all i know is that it's illegal and I don't do it

As far as I know (and if they haven't changed the law...) only selling it (geting money) is against any law. There are a few organizations who care about movies and audio cd's - one of them collects tax at selling blank dvd's and cd's , the other tries to make every copying illegal -, but the real 'Software Police' as they call it here (BSA, Business Software Alliance) are working together with Police to catch those who are selling illegal copies and using illegal softwares in their business. And I agree with this.

AFAIK, it means you cannot reproduce it, without monetary gain for the makers, not yourself.
