I luckily live in a country where I may break copy protection if it is to move the content into a format where I can use it as I prefer
Eg I could (and did) legally break copy protection on DVDs to allow me to watch them on my Linux computer
Over here you can even make copies for personal use or sharing with a close group of friends.
I love the unintended consequences of declaring that the internet is to be treated under the same laws as radio broadcasts. Suddenly being allowed to make a recorded copy of anything as long as you yourself create the copy becomes significantly more important.
