This is what the whole argument over fair use is about. The end user is supposed to have fair-use rights to backup/copy their music/movies/games/whatever, the media companies would have it otherwise. This is also why the DMCA is so widely opposed--all a company has to do is implement the most rudimentary of copy protections, and you can now be prosecuted for breaking that encryption, even if it was to make an archival copy.
Personally, I say fuck em, do it anyways.
