The Reg:
Quote:
The Library of Congress has the job of looking at rulemaking, or how the Act is interpreted, and it has identified four areas where copyright circumvention has legitimate, non-infringing applications. The DMCA criminalises circumvention of protected copyright digital material. But thanks in part to campaigner Seth Finkelstein, the oversight body has decided that for the next three years, bypassing access control in these areas won't result in a breach of the DMCA.
And these are: censorware blacklists; computer software protected by dongles which are obsolete or that don't work; computer software copy-protected by a media that is obsolete (including old games); and e-books that stop deaf or partially sighted readers from turning on the read aloud or large print options.

Hah! Owner-exclusive DRM-coded .lit files cannot use the text-to-speech function in MS Reader. Therefore you are not breaching the DMCA by removing the DRM protection with clit. It really looks as if this last provision was aimed directly at MS Reader.
