In any event, it is certainly allowable now, but it is definitely NOT spelled out in the copyright law or its recent ammendments and changes.
I wonder how software hacks would fare in a fair-use court case.
Wish I had the money to afford to lead such a fight!

My non-lawyer interpretation is that it would still be illegal, although if you own a legal copy that is unhacked, they would have a hard time prosecuting you, just as the record companies can't prosecute people for making cassettes of their legally purchased CDs even though that right is NOT in the copyright law.
Actually, that right is widely considered part of fair use. Same goes for ripping MP3's from CDs you legally own and transferring them to your iPod. Or making a mix CD of your favorite tracks. Or making a second CD copy to play in the car. None of this is illegal, provided you are the legal owner of the original CD.
