Not necessarily. When you send your book to 1 dollar scan, you could transfer ownership of the book to them. They make the copy onto CD legally, and then sell you back the book and send you the CD.

Thanks, that was interesting. So the plan is to give an absolute right to personal copying of purchased media.

And if a TPM (DRM) prevents the exercise of that right, one can appeal to the Secretary of State.

I wonder what relief they would grant for tranfer of Amazon DRMed ebook to ePub device or vice-versa?
