I must circumvent the DRM to view a DVD on my linux computer. I do not see how you can argue that this is not circumventing the DRM. The DVD is meant to be played in players that have been certified and were the player manufacturer have payed for being allowed to play the DVD.
In specific cases some kind of cirmumvention might be legal such as in the DVD case (it is illegal in a lot of countries). But I have only argued that the activity is circumvention.
