This is true, as the statute regarding ebooks has never been challenged in court.
However, stripping copy protection on video and audio did wend its way through the courts, and it was ruled fair use.
I don't lose any sleep worrying that someone might search my netbook and SD cards and then sue me over back up files, or for changing covers and formatting.
