Read down to the press release, and bullet number six pertains to us!!
OK!! Now this is FAR more significant, and does specifically exempt ebook DRM encryption from the DMCA. It's clearly aimed at enabling the use of commercial ebooks in devices that accommodate those with disabilities, though.

In the broader terms of fair-use, class 1, which only applies to DVDs using CSS, is probably the most important.
