Yes, that is why I said "it should not be illegal" because in reality it is illegal. That is what the bill intends to correct.

Here's a pertinent article for ebook DRM:

U.S. Copyright Office Publishes Final Rules With DMCA Exemptions/

The list of exceptions was released today, and there is both good news and bad news for ebooks.

The good news is that the disabled readers can still remove DRM which would inhibit their ability to use the content. The bad news is that there are no other exceptions which would allow you to remove the DRM.
