Enact a content consumer's Bill of Rights

The US has slid much too far in the direction of protection of large corporate copyright holders, to the exclusion of traditional Fair Use of the content we consume. We should enact legislation specifically protecting the right of consumers to archive, copy, and transfer content to different media formats for the purposes of our own convenience and consumption. It should be made explicit that provisions of the DMCA do not override these fundamental rights of content consumers.
