‘‘(i) PROTECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION.—
(1) CIRCUMVENTION PERMITTED.—Notwithstanding the provisions
of subsection (a)(1)(A), it is not a violation of that subsection

effectively controls access to a work protected under this title,
if—
‘‘(A) the technological measure, or the work it protects,
contains the capability of collecting or disseminating personally
identifying information reflecting the online activities
of a natural person who seeks to gain access to the
work protected.
