AFAIK, you can do a copy of an encrypted dvd, for example, without
decrypting it, using decss o equivalent, provided it fits into the
destination media. Just copy the iso image, or the files.
Decryption is need to play them, however.
It is not a copy prevention scheme, regardless of what they say. But that
is just one of the problems preventing having full multimedia, legally, in
linux.
