I believe the 2008 amendments made it legal in NZ to strip DRM for legitimate use (though I haven't parsed what that is). I don't live in NZ (rather AU) so perhaps someone local can comment.

You can read the law (bill that passed) here: http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/p...LM1122502.html

You can see some comments here;
