There are many reasons why people would want to copy or burn a DVD but here are some of the main reasons:

Probably the most obvious reason people copy DVDs is to backup their own DVD collection. With a DVD costing between $15 - $20 one scratch could ruin that whole investment. So now you are able to copy the movie you bought and watch the copy instead of the original. This ensures that you keep the original in mint condition should anything happen and you can make another copy.
Personal Reasons
So you just got back from vacation and you have alot of movies you want to save. I am sure you don't want to be fussing with multiple CDs or tapes so why not put it all on a DVD. Depending on your skill level you can even add a menu so you can showcase certain parts of your vacation with the touch of a button. Another idea can be putting a child's sports games on DVD to watch later. Relive the winning touchdown, scored goal, or homerun whenever you want and in DVD quality.
I am sure there are more reasons why people would want to save things to DVD and the information is out there, I hope you found this brief article helpful.
