Availability is piracy (aka making available) has nothing to do with ripping your own CD being fair use.

So while I appreciate your "RIAA[/MPAA] says but nobody else agrees" sentiment, the DMCA--as written--disagrees and our fair use suffers.

If you want to talk about the MPAA and DVDs, that is a completely different discussion.
