*** But DVD-A was designed with more secure encryption. If it had actually become popular, some hacker may have tried to break it. But with a couple hundred titles out, it remains secure. ***A hacker did try to break it, and was successful. At least to the point of being able to rip DVD-Audios onto the hard disk, which was the original question asked.
As for whether this is "illegal or not", i am not an expert in copyright law, but would suggest the legality of being able to rip or copy discs for personal use would depend on the jurisdiction. In Australia, for example, copying albums even for personal use is technically illegal - even recording your favourite LP onto cassette tape so that you can play it in your car.
