as long as scenarios like the PSP scenario are

There have been more than 5 million PSPs sold in North America alone. Is
that really an "exception"?

Compared to the hundreds of millions of general purpose PCs available in the rest of the world alone, yes it is.

And the PSP is not positioned as a media player. Sony's mistake, but there you are. The better example is the iPod, which can be handled more effectively by not allowing DRM distribution but giving a special exception for rendering works inaccessible on devices they cannot be removed on (an "iPod exception").

That would be more "pragmatic"...
