Ripping of DVDs has been legalized as well! Non-infringing use of copyright-protected material is legalized now. The list includes:
* Allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers.
* Allow people to break technical protections on video games to investigate or correct security flaws.
* Allow college professors, film students and documentary filmmakers to break copy-protection measures on DVDs so they can embed clips for educational purposes, criticism, commentary and noncommercial videos.
* Allow computer owners to bypass the need for external security devices called dongles if the dongle no longer works and cannot be replaced.
