The claim that the DRM disability exemption applies to everybody is highly dubious, and has not been tested in court. If you read the DMCA exemptions, they clearly (IMHO) restrict the right to remove DRM to those people suffering from a disability which requires this. It is not a blanket carte blanche for everybody to remove DRM. Think about it. Why have a law which makes DRM removal illegal, with an exemption which legalises it? Politicians are dumb, but not that dumb.
