If bypassing encryption is illegal just download it and cut out the middle man.
Comment on YSK if you have a library card or are a student, there's a free streaming service called Kanopy

Rip them. While it is perfectly legal to rip media, you have taken from the library or that you have purchased, there is one technical snag: bypassing the DVD encryption is technically a civil offense. But there’s also no way for anyone to ever prove that you did that unless you create a video of you doing it and send it into the FBI.
So make sure to use that library card to its fullest potential!

Got a lot of mileage out of this in high school when mp3 players had just kicked off.
