@Harry – You certainly do make an good point. However, on the other hand, if the courts ultimately rule in Real’s favor, establishing a precedent that “fair use means that users should be allowed to back-up their “protected” content, if and only if that copy is laden with even more restrictive DRM (like RealDVD employs), would that constitute a legal victory for consumers? I don’t think so.
