[MPlayer-users] Rescuing a scratched DVD

As a last resort, you could always try sending it back to whichever company 
released the DVD and see if they'll replace it for you - since you've already 
paid for the 'license' to watch the movie, you shouldn't have to pay for it 
again (as you would if you bought another copy.)

Given that they're against 'DVD backups', how else are you supposed to recover 
your movie in this situation?  If they'd allowed you to make a backup of it 
in the first place you wouldn't have this problem, so it's really up to them 
to provide you with a working copy now... ;-)

(and no, I'm not a lawyer, obviously ;-))

Cheers,
Adam.
