The Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act of 2003 has been introduced to the House Judiciar committe. If your Representative is a member of the committee (see the list below) please contact them and ask them to vote for this bill.
The legislation would add the following to the DMCA:
"It shall not be a violation of this title to manufacture, distribute, or make noninfringing use of a hardware or software product capable of enabling significant noninfringing use of a copyrighted work."
I read this to mean that there could be equipment to circumvent copy protection which could be used for personal time-shifting or archiving of digital content.
