Declan, Thought this might interest you: http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~mcmillen/dmca/ Colin is using the Dreamcast for real-time systems work and purchased serial cables to connect to his computer's RS-232 port for downloading NetBSD to the Dreamcast console. Customs siezed the UPS shipment and declared that the cables were in violation of the DMCA. UPS had to return them to the sender and there does not appear to be any chance of appeal. The EFF is working with Colin. Hopefully they will be able to make some headway and determine what happened.
