All of which are void due to DMCA. So this:

Have you? Or are you quite happy with the status quo? |
What is all of the misreading or completely ignoring certain statements I make to only view what you want to view. I didn't say anything about DRM not hindering fair use. I said that "Fair Use" as written does not give the average joe the ability to do anything they want with the material. In applies to what seems to be "scholarly" type things. Not individual use rights. I have a simple view of not trying to interpret law but to apply it literally. And literally most of us didn't have any fair use rights under these provisions anyway.
Also, you are in Europe (I would guess from the link you posted) and I am not well versed in European law, so I do not want to comment on what the law is there. But as you are in Europe you are not bound by the US-DMCA (or Copyright) laws but those of your own country. As I have read here on the forums, Italy allows the stripping of DRM from rightfully purchased files. I don't know about your country.
