$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.
Gray area at best.
It's not even grey - in the US it is illegal under the DMCA.
I'm not up to date on ripping tools, though.
US allows you to have a personal backup copy.
The DMCA supersedes that - it's still a crime to bypass copy protection mechanisms, and there are very few exceptions to that rule.
