My, you lot have dirty minds.... :?

The vitally important part of this ruling is that it is legal under the DMCA to distribute ConverLit (...) - you are distributing it so that visually-impaired people can enjoy the ebooks they purchase without being unfairly hampered by their disability. A US web site cannot be prosecuted for hosting ConvertLit.

Don't get me wrong, I think the DMCA is a bad law that deserves to be repudiated. The Library of Congress steered clear of making any ruling that would alter the nature of the law, and that's fair enough, as it's not their place to correct bad legislation, that's the repsonsibility of the people.
