My impression was that EFF and the like were bearish on 1201(f) because of that last part, "to the extent any such acts of identification and analysis do not constitute infringement under this title." and "to the extent that doing so does not constitute infringement under this title." because that essentially forecloses any practical application of 1201(f).

That ship sailed 20 years ago and the future is one of being ruled by the whims of major software producers :(
