I don't see any contradiction. If I tell you where to go to get a good deal on a handgun I'm not aiding you in the commission of a crime. What you do with the gun once you have it may be criminal in that you can hold someone up or murder someone with it, but giving you the address of the gun shop isn't an illegal act. Likewise telling someone where they can find the tools shouldn't be considered criminal, and neither should it be so if you strip DRM from a book you have purchased (as long as you aren't posting it online for others to get without paying). If you strip a copy you bought then that should be ok. It's when you post it to a torrent site or other such that you are in violation of the law I think.
