I think we have a confusion of terminology here. When you say:

Quote:
If you strip DRM to get rights you shouldn't have then that's a violation.
what do you mean by the word "rights"? I interpreted you to mean "capabilities", but you're saying that you don't mean that? What did you mean?

What is your opinion on the "RealNetworks" case. That was a clear case of a court ruling that it is illegal to remove DRM to enable what would otherwise be "fair use" rights, such as format conversion.
