This is such a dumb law that I'd think a case of jury nullification would be within the realm of possibility. I had absolutely no idea this was supposed to be illegal.

Wow... put me in the camp of UK people that had no idea that was the case!

I remember a time when we digitised our DVD collection just swapping them one by one into handbrake.

Never would have dreamed that was illegal...
