Copy protection may in fact be illegal itself because it circumvents the property owners right to archival backup. Nobody has sued over it and no company would risking suing over breaking copy protection for fear that the judge would rule in favor of backup.
It is very common for a law to be illegal. That's what the supreme court is for. All it would take is one person to prove that personal backup rights are being infringed by the overreaching and unconstitutional DMCA and it would be overturned.
