Wasn't the whole point to distinguish between two different types of DeDRMing? The type where you are only given more control over stuff you already have access to, and the type that could give you access to stuff you aren't otherwise able to access.
So "DeDRM," along with "cracking," is exactly the ambigous term We were trying to disambiguate.
How about "fair-use-enabling?"
Doesn't exactly roll of the keyboard though.

If you
want to feel ambiguous, you can find a way to complain about
any term.
"DeDRM" means exactly what it says on the tin: removing the DRM.
No explicit connotations of "cracking" or "picking" something along the lines of breaking into someone else's house.
It is left to the reader to not automatically assume nonsense, and possibly to read up on what is involved.
Presumably they will then be able to come across the appropriately-worded 50,000-word legal essay on what the difference is.
