That is so true. You could have a site that distributes ebooks that are in the public domain using DRM... and removing the DRM would violate the DMCA. It's just a stupid law.
Also, there is the exception for disabled people. But, what if the disabled person doesn't have the computer skills to remove the DRM? Can another person remove the DRM since they would not fall under the exception?
The thing that I would like to see one of these interviewers ask Bezos is, why is it bad for Apple to lock iTunes content to an iPod which prompted you to open the DRM free MP3 store, but it is ok for you to lock Kindle users into only using the Kindle store?
