DRM Ruling From the Library of Congress

Nate Anderson (via John Siracusa):

This time, the Library went (comparatively) nuts, allowing widespread bypassing of the CSS encryption on DVDs, declaring iPhone jailbreaking to be “fair use,” and letting consumers crack their legally purchased e-books in order to have them read aloud by computers.

Good news, although the CSS exemption does not include format-shifting, unfortunately.
