Maybe it is. It is legal to point out what to look for to find a tool that removes drm. The specific instructions on how such a tool does the job exactly and instructions to write your own tool is another issue altogether. You will notice that you have a hard time finding out which laws were broken to create the tools in the first place. And it is better if nobody ever knows (other than the party responsible) if and how laws were broken to create the tools.
There is a difference in giving instructions on how to use a tool that fell from the sky and giving instructions on how to create such a tool from scatch.
Also note that nobody yet managed to crack the DRM, only to remove it.
