No, you are wrong. Remember, this is an international forum, so laws are different in the different countries.

In 2005 a new section was added to the "copuright law" in Norway that forbid any circumvention of "digital copy protection", though in the very next section this again says: "The provision in the first paragraph shall not preclude the private user adoption of legally acquired works on what is generally regarded as relevant players." (Google Translate, but it makes a very accurate translation).

When interpreted by the lawyers, it was concluded that any or none had the full right to circumvent any digital restrictions *for personal use*.
