I'm certainly not a lawyer, but I would imagine that one could well argue that this "exemption" only applies if you have a disability, such as blindness, which makes the book with DRM inaccessible to you. It seems a little unreasonable to claim that one is breaking the DRM because it disables speech output in "Microsoft Reader", only to then transfer the book to a platform with no speech output
.
Is there anyone here who actually finds "machine" read books "bearable", by the way? I've tried a couple but can't stand them.
