Neat. I like the exemption in principle, and the "Good Faith" condition will probably be the lynch pin that gets tested in court cases if they come up. What is Good Faith in security research is not necessarily - I don't think - a settled issue. Especially in light of the CFAA still on the books. I'd appreciate more and more clarity coming through (and augmentations to existing law to make them better) over time.

I wonder how the EFF will respond to this, because I recall one of their lawsuits (major?) is about DMCA exemption for security research (Plaintiff 1) but also violating DMCA in a for-profit-enterprise (Bunny).
