I'm talking about legal copying

Then you obviously have nothing to worry about.

Unless I'm making a legal copy of a Sony BMG product with XCP onto my computer. Or one with MediaMax, whose danger has been well documented, and whose use was not restricted to Sony BMG. Then I have a problem, don't I?

Ignore everything else I have to say if you please, but for Pete's sake, address this, if you would. The person who uncovered Sony BMG's rootkit was in violation of the DMCA, and would face penalties if they decided to prosecute him. This legislation aims to stiffen those penalties. Therefore, the only person with the courage to come forward & let the public know of the existence of the rootkit would be subject to those stiffer penalties.

This is what you're advocating. We're supposed to assume that no rights holders would install such illegal spyware? And we're supposed to accept that it's illegal to even find the stuff?
