Sad. Who decides which law has priority though, when the laws are in conflict?

Apparently http clients are not banned by this law even though they are necessarily "part of a product" that is designed to circumvent protection,... And they are the main thing doing the actual copying. This law is still not achieving it's full potential. :D

In the same vein, there's conflict between exceptions offered by one law (fair use), and bans by this same law (software to exercise this right).

I guess the courts decide, but in practice courts don't run around looking for conflicts in laws to decide on their own, to make laws more followable by normal people, but they just decide cases brought forward by seomeone. And that someone is usually someone who benefits the most out of some particular outcome, and is thus able to pay for the case.

The whole system seems a bit prejudiced in how it works.
