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.

No, unless you've heard something from the courts more recently, you are mistaken. The 5th circuit court has given an opinion that the circumvention prohibition does not apply for uses that do not infringe copyright. The 9th circuit court has opined otherwise.
This has been discussed here at great length.
There are various published article from law firms on the topic if you care to Google.
Here's one from another thread:
