Ok. I totally dig the *idea* here - I mean, this issue has been ongoing

I'm not a lawyer, but I can tell you exactly what a lawyer would say:
"well, ya know, it's hard to say when it comes to these issues"
that's the answer to *any* copyright question. :)
to me it even screams "bypassing or a digital copyright enforcement system".
that sounds really close to "D.M.C.A. violation" :)
thank goodness I'm not a laywer...
