That case was brought up by the BluRay licensing body, not the DVD vendors. They were griping about the cracking tool aspect, not the ripping. There is a difference between them suing and the content owners suing.
DVD rippers are, as I said, available at retail everywhere, and unchallenged. With the DeCSS code out everywhere it is pointless to sue over the cracking tool and the studios don't care enough to sue over the ripping use.
