In the USA, copyright supersedes license agreements. According to some old 
court cases, if it's copyrighted, and your license agreement conflicts with 
what copyright allows, and you bought the stuff *before* you agreed to the 
license, then copyright wins.

I don't know if DMCA changed that, tho.

It depends. I certainly am when I buy a kindle document.
