Actually the DMCA tries to criminalize behavior which is perfectly legal in the same realm. Some is specifically allowed by other laws while other has been ruled legal by the courts. The latter is the most troublesome as new laws are allowed to override previous court judgments. The problem is that some of the judgments have been made on constitutional grounds-and new laws cannot override those judgments, only a constitutional amendment (or a higher court) can do that. So it's a quagmire.
