In the US, removing or bypassing DRM is a violation of the DMCA, a Federal offense, and anyone who does so is theoretically liable for large fines.

The situation is not as cut and dried as you portray it here. For those who
make and distribute DRM removal tools in the US, you are surely correct. But for those who
use those tools, it's not so clear. The question is whether DMCA laws
trump Fair Use rights... and that question has yet to be answered definitively (legally).
You
may end up being right in the long run, but for now... it's still uncharted territory, mired with conflicting legal opinions from both sides of the table.
