Cool... If I read this correctly things like "archiving" old arcade game ROMs for MAME is now legal. From the article:

   "For computer software and video games that require machines no
   longer available, copy-protection controls may be circumvented for
   archival purposes. "

I assume that "archival purposes" includes personal use.

*clips* for educational exercises -- but that doesn't include DVD ripping to
your iPod.  Here's the article:
