Really? Last I checked, there was still a l hardcoded limit on the number of machines I could install Windows on.

Ultimately, I think they can interpret existing law, and show where DRM is legal and when it is not, but it can't make DRM itself illegal (Particularly since the DCMA more or makes it legal since it makes it illegal to circumvent DRM).
