The sections you cite are irrelevant to this discussion, because
copyright infringement is not alleged in either the 2600 case or
the Elcomsoft case.

LWN's statement is that there is nothing in DMCA that says
fair use is a defense to an allegation that you distributed a
circumvention device. That's true.

Remember - the "fair use" law isn't a law that says everybody has the
right to fair use of things -- it's just an exception to copyright
law.
