I think they were trying to use the "For Backup" argument (to clarify you backup your media and store it off site and use the backup to preserve the master) and Hollywood were using the "1 purchase = 1 licence" I can't remember the outcome (if there has been one) as i think there was a lot of hot air to and fro about it. Real were using a court case won by Kaleidescape as a template.

For reference, if the OP has money to burn, a Kaleidescape solution could be the answer, as it does what XBMC does, but with dedicated kit.

I believe Real lost that battle, IIRC.

However, they were a commercial company selling software that breaks a copy protection mechanism.

I can't see them ever suing an individual for ripping purchased media to a computer for their own personal/home use.
