I'm no lawyer, but I thought circumventing any DRM at all was made illegal by the DMCA in the US. This might be one of those legal grey areas which have yet to be fully tested by the court system. |
I think it falls into a weird grey area that has not been clarified. I know for a fact it is illegal to crack DRM. Stripping it completely is also illegal, but there has never been a clear cut descision on simply maneuvering around it is. I wanna say there is a part of fair use that can be twisted to allow for circumvention. All signs point to it being ruled illegal if it came down to a court case but to my knowledge that has not happened as yet.
