The various laws were practically designed to be foggy and contradictory between themselves, specifically to allow the authorities "wiggle room" on how they interpret and apply the laws.
Again, this is why people in the U.S. aren't being prosecuted across the board for possessing or even using DRM crackers--becuase they couldn't possibly find them all--but individuals who are singled out, generally by those who have lost money by their specific actions, can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Further, if someone suspected that anyone on this site who's gone on record stating "I broke the DRM on my e-book" was actually selling (or even giving away) that DRM-cracked e-book, and costing someone else money, they could also be dragged before the tribunal and prosecuted (provided proof could be provided by the accuser that their cracked e-books were out on the web, of course).
