I don't know whether or not a court would differentiate between tricking the DRM into giving you a decrypted copy versus actually breaking the encryption algorithm. I don't know how deep they would get into the technicalities, or if they would even care.

You have an interesting point though. If the DRM algorithm decrypts the content and gives you an unprotected copy (which is what it's supposed to do), does it make a difference whether that copy is output to the screen or output to a file? Or is it the companies fault that their software allows you to use it in an unintended way?
