No offense, but many professional people here at Creativecow.net, me included, frown on posts that request advice on ripping and/or ripping off copyrighted materials.
That being said you can go to Google.com and place these terms in the search box:

Using the scenes may or may not be legal under Fair Use doctrine. However, defeating the copy protection on the DVD is definitely illegal.

It’s illegal. any use other than viewing it is illegal. It’s been discussed here a lot of times on this very forum how you cannot use any copyrighted material without the rights from the owner of the copyright. FCP will not capture copyrighted material that has copy protection on it.

The guidelines that I’ve seen for fair use of motion media in an educational setting allow 10% or 3 minutes, whichever is less.
Penalties can run up to $100,000 for each act of deliberate or willful infringement.
A casual understanding of copyright law restraints is common, but dangerous.
Violations of the DMCA, such as circumventing CSS protection encryption on DVDs, can bring criminal penalties up to $250,000 and five years in prison.
This is the law, and ignorance of it is not a defense. f you don’t think this is right, contact your elected officials, and support groups such as the Electronic Frontier Founcation ( http://www.eff.org )

so these poor high school kids just wanna show some breakfast club clips, and they are gonna get fined by the government.
dude, i wonder what kinda narc fee i can get out of tattletaing on my spanish teacher in high school for screening all of evita for us!!!!
and if the government does find out, point oiut to them that they should start by finding osama first!
oh yes, i went there, woot!!!
i dunno, in all seriousness, times are changing, media doesnt mean what it used to, and well, look up the guidlines for this yourself and do what you feel comfortable with.

I guess the most you can do is to contribute to the Electronic Freedom Foundation.
Do any of you remember 321 Studios? Reading the EFF: DMCA Archive will definitely give your spine a shiver and a cold empty feeling in your stomach.

interesting….i do believe that we are allowed to have “usable backup copies of our dvds” though, i believe it was ruled that way.
as far as infringing on macrovision, i can see why they would be upset, but i can also see where the movie industry, if they could sell twice the discs they would be angry about the copy rule.
i can see how this opens them up to piracy, so perhaps instead of suing each others pants off, they figure a way to make this happen legally and to each others benefit.
however, watch out. hackers will always prevail. i know on my

Havard huh?
Then I guess you must be aware of Chilling Effects Clearinghouse, which is quote “A joint project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, University of San Francisco, University of Maine, George Washington School of Law, and Santa Clara University School of Law clinics.”
