What do you think the C in DMCA stands for?
>It's funny how a narrow exception in an overbroad law ends up having no effect on practice.
Simply untrue. There are massive collections of things gathered under and repaired under this "no effect" exemption.
Sometime take a look at the dozens of exemptions allowing all sorts of repair, reverse engineering for interoperability, removing of copy protection where needed to continue to use items, etc. [1] Or just Google DMCA 1201 exemptions and read blog posts. You'll be surprised.
