Article from Wired:

Rep. Rick Boucher is finally ready to try and dismantle a key part of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Boucher, a Virginia Democrat, said last July that he wanted to amend the DMCA to permit certain "fair uses" of digital content, such as backing up an audio CD by bypassing copy protection technology.

...

Boucher plans to rewrite section 1201 of the DMCA, which says, "No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title."
