Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn’t it been found (In the US) that making a digital copy of a DVD you own totally okay?
Let's be honest, most people use this software to serve up their library of pirated content. The number of people who are even still buying physical media is relatively tiny. That is why retailers like Best Buy are abandoning that market. The population of people who buy that physical media and then manually rip it has to be miniscule.

I'm also reasonably sure that "3. Proposed Class 6: Audiovisual Works—Space-Shifting" in the above link would cover personal archival and that was explicitly rejected.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still all for it, but it's not permitted anymore like it used to be.
That said, there is a _less legal_ solution to those problems...
