That was a cliche, indeed. The main point remains: does using libdvdcss, for instance, for watching a DVD using a multimedia player installed in millions of other computers qualify as an "circumvention of technological barriers for using a digital good in certain ways which the rightsholders do not wish to allow."? Rightsholders certainly wish to allow DVDs owners to watch them privately... As I was reading recently, it's always good to remember that law is a liberal art degree, not an engineering degree :-) I think this is probably enough OT from me on this thread, sorry for the digression..
