I thought that that would be legal. However, I believe there is a
clause that states that the content owner (e.g. record label) can set an
'evil bit' or a 'digital lock' that makes the copying of said content
illegal. This would seem to indicate that the copyright holder gains
even more power by being able to decide, on a whim, what we can an can't
copy. I'm pretty sure that if this is true a digital lock will be the
default setting for all new content.
