He's merely copying the "scrambled" bits on the DVD to his hard-drive.  CSS 
has nothing to do in the actual copying.  There are, however, other techniques 
employed to make the copying really hard by regular tools (e.g. you'll need to 
ignore some errors etc...).

Now, in order to play that iso file in your hard-drive (e.g. by mounting it 
with the loopback) you'll need  to use software to "unscramble" those bits.  
In order to do it legally on Linux you'll need to use "PowerDVD for Linux" as 
LinDVD I think is no longer available...

HTH,
Jorge
