@djmertz IANAL but wouldn't allowing college but not K-12 students (et al.) to break CSS violate "equal protection under the law"? And wouldn't trying to delimit "commentary or criticism" bring up First Amendment (as well as equal protection) issues due to some "speech" being legal and other "speech" not being legal?

Doesn't this also, therefore, make CSS-breaking tools no longer automatically illegal due to these new "substantial non-infringing uses"?

And, lastly, CSS is COPY protection, not COPYRIGHT protection, regardless of what Macrovision and the MPAA say. Copyright protection is a legal doctrine, not a technical scheme.
