Well, I'm just guessing here, but if a court had to deal with a case involving contradictory laws, they'd be more inclined to hold up whichever one existed first. Precendent and all that. So your right to make archival copies would take precedent since it existed before the laws about breaking coppy protection. Hell, it exisited even before they HAD copy protection.
Course I'm not a lawyer, so I can't be sure, but it makes sense to me. Which probably means I'm wrong.
