In one word.....No.

Think of copyrighting in this way:
If it were a book and not a dvd....you buy a book...you
can give it away or sell it legally...but if you were to
make a copy of it you would have two books and selling
the copy, giving the copy away, and even making the copy
would be a copyright infringement....thus illegal.
The owner could seek damages and/or have you arrested for
criminal charges.
I hope this puts it in a better light for you.

nope, the DMCA is unclear about fair use. unless you know something about
law (doesnt sounds like you do) i would not put anything llike that.
