So, I was reading an article this afternoon about "jailbreaking" iPhones, and found this gem hidden in the text:

Quote:
The Library of Congress also said in the filing posted today that people don’t violate the law when they circumvent copy protection on DVDs and extract short excerpts to create new, noncommercial works.

I have a lot of DVDs that don't have trailers online, and this ruling may allow (I'm hoping) for the legal ripping of trailers from DVDs.
