simaru, your situation is one of the reasons why the linked article is especially significant and worth calling attention to. Many people believe that DRM only effects where and how they can read a book, and as long as they can read it when they buy it they just don't care. But the fact is that there have been some forms of DRM that intrude on your system such that it has become less secure all the time. Any law that requires you to submit passively to such intrusion needs review.

ETA: Or maybe, if they want to keep the law as it is, they should require the suppliers of such DRM to be responsible for all damages caused by it - after all, if the user is not legally permitted to remove it then only the supplier can be responsible.
