The movie industry's actions in protecting their content are not illegal.

I agree, but methods to circumvent that in order to restore fair use rights should not be illegal.

For example, you can buy automobiles overseas that simply can't be driven in the United States without modification to the hardware.

Don't I know that one. I had to leave a nice sports car in Germany because it was impossible to make it street legal over here, and trying to convince a customs agent that it's only going be used on the track was just too full of "if"s for me to try.

It may have been remotely possible to modify it, but I gave up on the idea after reading that it took Bill Gates a few years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get street-legal Porsche 959s here.

I understand both sides of the argument and, in principle, I agree; however, you're not going to convince Congress.

Gates has a street-legal 959?!? That was an amazing car for its time.
