Messed UP!
It's illegal to distribute (sell or give away) copies that infringe copyright.
However it OUGHT to be illegal to add mechanisms to prevent personal archival or use or media.
Also the DRM / Copyprotection is STILL there when copyright expires. DRM is fundamentally a lazy and immoral way of preventing crime, rather than purely pursuing the infringing users.
It's like banning all knives because some people use knives illegally. The USA Millenium act is plain wrong.
Any judgement against tools removing DRM/"Copy protection" is wrong. It's Government siding with lazy publishers against HONEST consumers.
Professional pirates are not inconvenienced at all.
