All I said was that it is better if nobody EVER find out which laws exactly (if any) were broken in order to create and make available the tools (the ones that work as plugin for calibre specifically) to remove DRM. It doesn't even matter if there is exceptions that allow you to break a law for a specific purpose - until a case is brought to court it remains uncertain if the exception is legal to begin with in the first place.
And yes you did claim it by saying: oh, but section 17 allows reverse engineering. So it is perfectly legal to distribute it to others? Get real. And if you didn't know, the plugin for calibre we are discussing is very much distributed to others. And some even use it for the purpose of stripping DRM.
