Any way to circumvent the measures, including breaking DRM encryption, falls under such law. The DMCA prohibits circumvention. I know it for sure, I've taken some lectures at work.
If this is being enforced on regular users or not, who just want to read their books on a different device, that's different. I guess in practical terms is hard to make a legal case and big companies are not interested.

As far as America goes, I believe most understand the reason for doing it. Consumers want the option to read it on whatever device they choose. Which is only fair.
IMHO just another one of the laws they passed, but really have no interest in enforcing.
