The important thing isn't to look at the letter of the law, it's to look at the practical application of the law. The actual letter of the law for things such as copyright protection and anti-trust is actually in a practical sense, unenforceable. Fair use was originally a pure judicial invention with no basis in the written law. Congress eventually added fair use, but that was after the fact. Anti-trust law as is currently implemented has very little basis in the literal letter of the law. While the US not suppose to be a common law country, quite a bit of the law is common law (common law is law that is decided by judges rather than written by the legislature).

Needless to say that one was found guilty but my guess would be "he wasn't just "stealing" for personal use. " So we may be thinking of different cases. |

Not exactly

The difference means that there still hasn't been a clear ruling on if the US fair use clause trumps DRM removal or not. |
