I never understood why anyone would want a kelidescope system when they could but a pc and a couple terrabytes of Hard drive for less than 2000 dollars and rip all their dvds that way.

Much cheaper, and no law suite problems! :)

In most cases, that still violates the DMCA, since you're being forced to crack CSS in order to get a useful rip. I think the only product like that, though, is DriveIn for OS X by Flip4Mac, which I was expecting to be sued out of existence pretty quickly. However, unless you simultaneously mount all the disc images, you won't be able to access these from a "ten foot UI" (like Front Row).
