They also sounded like they really didn't know how to answer my question.

As for the DMCA making it illegal to circumvent copy protection.. it also contains language that make it illegal to circumvent device access. It's been used successfully, ironically, by Sony.. to take down instructions on how to modify the firmware of the PSP game system.

How is format shifting circumventing device access? Since the device can be accessed by using PDF, RTF or TXT as well.
