- eli 16y agoIANAL, but that would not protect you from the DMCA provisions that make it a crime to distribute tools designed for breaking DRM, even if you intend such tools to be used for fair use purposes.

- carussell 16y agoYou aren't familiar with the DMCA, then. It's true that §1201(a)(2) and §1201(b)(3) restrict distribution, not personal use. §1201(a)(1) does restrict personal use. That's what makes the DMCA really insidious.
