If that is true, I can see a new business that would be wildly popular.

Book buyer in DCMA country sends a DRMed ebook to a service in another country where having DRM tools is not illegal. For a small fee or free (if they want to "stick it to the man"), the service will remove the DRM from the book and send it back to.

Book buyer in DCMA country has hands that are clean since they do not own the DRM tools but still get a DRM free book.
