11. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
rip
ripper

    (From "rip off" - to steal) To copy
   audio or video, typically from a compact disc or DVD, to a
   file on a computer hard disk.  A dedicated program to do
   this is called a "ripper" though it is often a function of
   player software.

   Ripping usually includes converting the data to a format that
   is more suitable for computer playback, e.g. MP3 digital
   audio or DivX video.  The process is entirely digital so it
   is possible to make a perfect copy of the data.  However the
   resulting files are large (a few megabytes for an audio
   track, a few gigabytes for a film) so the conversion often
   includes compression to reduce the file size at the cost of
   some loss of quality.

   While it may be legal to do this for personal use,
   distributing a ripped copyright work to others could result in
   prosecution.

   See also ripcording.

pulvis_.
