Since you don't seem to be aware of that, I'm now telling you.

So stop shouting now. You don't have an excuse anymore.

no, THIS IS SHOUTING WHEN I AM CONTINUING IN THE SAME UPPER CASE. NICE TO SEE THAT YOU ARE NOW A MODERATOR

Now we have hot the silliest thing every posted on MR. having to explain a single capitalized word is the silliest thing every posted to MR.

The thread that never ends.

Maybe I should've gone with my alternative title - "Another Library to Demonstrate eReaders". This thread would've ended after one or two pages.

The example may be extreme, but the point is real: There are certain circumstances in which generally legal acts may be illegal.

Actually, there is. As the law is written (US), it refers to any digital media to which you have the rights.

It could be argued that the only difference between a purchased ebook and a borrowed ebook is the length of time to which you are given the rights. You do not technically own ebooks you purchase.

It's certainly open to interpretation. There is no right nor wrong. Everyone is free to decide what they think is right.

And that was my singular point. The rhetoric has become so extreme that there is no longer any true discourse going on...time to dial it back.

Get a room.

Back on topic, I have two interesting (I think, anyway) and genuinly new things add:

1. An interesting article on a law firm's website:
http://www.lockelord.com/art_2011law...randevanslyke/
According to that article, not only is the legal status of stripping DRM in the US still ambiguous, but currently, whether the the fifth circuit ruling (stripping is legal if you don't violate copyright) or the ninth circuit ruling (it's illegal) would apply depends on which state you're in.

2. The Library of Congress's three-year administrative rule making process, whereby they can declare exemptions to the anti-circumvention provisions, begins this coming October, 2011 for the rules that will be made in 2012.
In October, the Copyright Office web site (www.copyright.gov) will post a Notice of Inquiry.
This notice will lay out how the public can provide input on what the new exemptions should be.
Mark your calendars, folks!
