From my understanding it is absolutely legal to own dvd ripping software providing you only use it to rip dvd's that you actually own in an attempt to back them up.
Of course if you were renting movies and ripping them or loaning them from a friend and ripping them then that would be a different story.
Thats why the majority of pc's come with ripping and burning abilities. Its just what you can use them for that becomes illegal.
