Awesome.

So, it would appear that Congress has finally started listening to groups like the EFF.

    On a related note, I use Handbrake for my DVD ripping, but most of the files come out all fucked up. Is there a better program to use?

    It's still illegal to own a backup copy of your music.

    No, it's illegal to circumvent DRM on music. Ripping music with no DRM is fine.

    Nope. Ripping music is illegal duplication.

    What platform? Handbrake doesn't come with a decss library, so might have to install a program that includes one, like VLC.

    Anyone recommend a DVD ripper for Windows? I used to use DVD43 but it doesn't work on Winx64.

    I thought the new exceptions allow for fair use duplication, provided that DRM is not circumvented. I could be wrong.
