People will no longer be able to break a digital lock to buy an ebook on amazon and turn it into an epub, or buy a DVD and create a digital file to use on your home network, etc., even if they have zero intentions of sharing or selling, and just want to use it for themselves only.
Like I said before, the corporations will keep on pushing and pushing till someone says no. Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile.

Well, if you do it in the privacy of your own home, how will they ever know about it? Besides, such overly restrictive laws may well be ruled unconstitutional by a high court later.
