So that's the "law for them" - if you're making a comparison you'll need an
example of a "law of us".

Can you name a single case of anyone being charged for copying DVDs for what
I can only but presume is personal use, even if it did take place in a
workplace?

In this case, I think the law, and it's enforcement, for "us" is exactly the
same as the law, and it's enforcement, for "them".
