A bit necro, but what the heck!

Just because it's a law in US, doesn't make it universal. It always boils down to your own country.
Here in Sweden we have a very different view on copyright then the rights of the one individual.
I was given techsupport by Atari a few years ago to defeat the copyprotection on Civ3, the very game they sold me, so i could make the physical backup of the CD/DVD I'm entitled to make and store. I don't see that happen anywhere else really.
Same thing with movie protections here. We can LEGALY defeat the copyprotection ,and lend a copy to a friend for him/her to watch, and have nowhere in this process broken any laws.

This seems to be a step in the right direction, but still, in MY world, it's far from the final goal.
