I don't know whether you wrote in favour or not of the bill as it stands, but it's a lot less beneficial than it looks on the surface, with a clause that effectively invalidates the DRM-removal thing by then making it illegal to remove said "digital locks" on anything that has them, because the presence of digital locks will be considered to trump fair use.
Definitely NOT in favour of the bill as it stands, but it appears that the removal of digital locks for personal use will end up in the final bill. That is unless it gets lost in the brouhaha about the iPOD tax <groan>. I am, btw, a huge fan of Michael Geist.
