I do the same as Fellwanderer and hitch up the video player into the back of the DVD recorder. Always works well for me and I do the editing afterwards.

I've been buying plenty of tapes from ebay and charity shops, then either selling them again (depending on what they are) or give them back to the charity. It's a good way of getting a back catalogue if you're not fussed with all the extras and stuff.

There are plenty of devices available on the internet to circumvent macrovision - many of them in the form of a special scart lead.

I can see little harm in using one of these provided the DVDs are for your own use, and you still have the original VHS tape, and provided you are NOT trying to sell pirate or bootleg DVDs. The law would rightly look very unfavourably on anyone trying to do so.
