It is not easy it you want to be sure not to break any law when doing it or when obtaining the tools. I also do not belive that it will be easy to break a 50 year old DRM. The tools will have disappeared.
You are forgetting the case when buying a books and reading it 10 years later or so. This you have to do since books do not stay in print.
