DRM & U.S. Copyright Law
Excellent commentary on the sorry state of U.S. copyright law and DRM:

Why Jailbreaking Your iPhone Is Legal But Hacking eBooks is Not

Quote:
... If it’s fine to break DRM to watch different video sources on a smart TV, why does it remain a crime to do the same thing to put different books on an e-reader? .... A saner law that didn’t treat this behavior as a sound foundation for jurisprudence would make it a crime to break DRM in order to infringe copyright. But we don’t have that law, so we’re stuck in this loop of bad copyright policy.
