[David Boxall]

In addition to maintaining the legality of circumventing DVD region 
coding, the law seems to allow (for example) cracking iTunes purchases, 
so they'll play on hardware other than Apple.

"makers of products are not able to restrict the use of generic 
after-market goods and services through the application of TPMs to their 
product."

                                 |  scientist states that something is
                                 |  possible, he is almost certainly
                                 |  right. When he states that
                                 |  something is impossible, he is
                                 |  very probably wrong.
