RIAA and tech companies in agreement?

It seems the RIAA agreed to stop trying to get the government to force tech companies to install anti-copying stuff on every piece of hadware, but the tech companies agreed to stop trying to get the government to guarantee a person’s right to make backup copies, or transfer music to portable players.

Sounds like a win for both of them and a loss for consumers, eh?
