I believe it was only in conjuction with disabilities being overcome that format shifting was deemed legal. There was no flat "
you may break DRM to format shift for personal use" edict. Not in the U.S. anyway.
Editor hat on:
I'd like to remind everyone that while the discussion of the legalities of esoteric or hypothetical situations pertaining to this issue is fine, we still have rules against the advocacy of piracy at MR. You run the risk of violating forum rules by speaking openly about--and advocating--your own NON-hypothetical violations of copyright law (even if you admit it's "wrong").
