FWIW the sibling comments are correct under USA's Fair Use but in the UK there is only a very restrictive Fair Dealing which last I looked did not allow backups without permission unless there is no digital protection in place. There is a right under S.50A to make a backup of a computer program but when paired with the rest of the act it's unworkable.
In the UK you can't (you could for a while) rip a CD/DVD, apps like iTunes are contributory infringers.
