The DMCA prohibits all copying if you break any copy protection, thereby eliminating fair use rights. Its far overreaching and has been abused many times by many different people.
Look at what the public thinks of the RIAA after they've sued so many people. People hate them. They've sued a dead man and a person without a computer. I always wonder how do you illegally download MP3's without a computer. Big business interests have attempted to make the crime of copying any files a crime punishable by 10 years in federal prison.
The Attorney general tried to allow prosecutors to sue someone for copying any file even though the copyright hadnt been registered and allowing the federal government to seize your computer along with other things possibly.
The RIAA made a big blunder with sueing people, I consider it one of the worst PR moves ever. The best thing to do is to make there be no need to pirate anything, Offer Free samples or Free whatever to reel them in to buy REASONABLY priced products.
