It has not been tested in court, Tommy; that's why I think that to make "definitive" statements about its legality or otherwise is unwise. I was merely stating what Nate himself appeared to be saying about the situation - that IF he believes this exemption to ONLY apply to those books for which no TTS is available, then it would be logical to deduce he would also accept that to remove DRM from books for which a TTS option DOES exist would NOT be legal. I believe that Nate has agreed that this is indeed his viewpoint.
Needless to say, I personally do not believe that the DMCA exemption has any validity for non-disabled people, but that is purely a personal opinion and since I am not a lawyer, I make no claim that my viewpoint is anything
other than uneducated personal opinion.
