"Legal downstream use of the copyrighted material by customers"--meaning fair use by you, the consumer--"is not a defense to the software manufacturer's violation of the provisions."--that is, the manufacturer's violation of sect. 1201 through the dissemination or trafficking of software. Section 1201 specifically preserves your defense of fair use (as well as other defenses, for that matter)
