We had this discussion before and I still think this interpretation is wrong. But even assuming you are right... if you can't create a tool to remove DRM... and you can't share a tool to remove DRM then if you get a tool to remove it then you are "sharing" the tool which violates the DMCA. So, the effective result is the same. Removing DRM violates the DMCA. Unless you have to cort cases to cite a precedent where this was ruled on, that is what I believe.
