You don't. This act does protect your Fair Use rights. Title 17 Ch.12, sec. 1201, subsection (c)(1) states: "Nothing in this section shall affect rights, remedies, limitations, or defenses to copyright infringement, including fair use, under this title."
So, you can copy, either analog or digital, and put it on any of YOUR devices. You just cannot give it away. Thats basic copyright law. -

Title 1 contains:
-Updates and additions to Definitions in various parts of the Copyright Law

This is a good discussion to have, but it is not relevant to repealing the DMCA Act. "Big Business" not wanting you to post their property on the web for everyone to get freely is a simple copyright issue. Repealing DMCA would not change that.
Furthermore, it actually helps the homegrown producer or small business by not allowing the removal of their copyright information (Ch.12 Sec 1201)An error occurred while saving the comment FotoGuy

So, you can circumvent the DRM to make a personal copy, either analog or digital.
It also protects ISPs and websites from the acts of their users. -
