--Do not ban technologies that can be used to circumvent. Assuming it is recognized that there are many legitimate reasons to circumvent a digital lock, then the distribution of the tools (ie. software) used to circumvent is also legitimate.

Internet access is far too important to establish a system that would cut off access based on unproven allegations of infringement.
