No, Ralph, I'm saying that there is no test case here. It's like the debate about whether stripping DRM for personal use is legal: some people say it's fair use, some say it falls foul of the DMCA. Until a case comes to court, nobody knows how it would be interpreted by a court. This is the same: I say that it's fair use to use a DVD player sold for the purpose of playing a particular DVD, and you say otherwise. Until and unless a case comes to court, the question remains legally undecided (although obviously I think I'm right
).
