The law basically says you can't obtain it from within the country (since it is illegal to distribute within the country) and you can't import it from outside of the country. That pretty much means that the software is illegal to possess, it is simply a matter of who is going to be charged.
It should also be noted that I'm not claiming that law enforcement or corporate lawyers are going to start charging (or suing) people. The original comment simply implied that it would be impossible to catch DRM removal. While the process of removing DRM may be impossible to detect, it is possible for you to be caught for related crimes. Again, I'm not saying that it will happen. I'm just saying that the tools are there if someone decides to do so.
