296Z B says "1) A person commits an offence if he - ... (iv) possesses, ... any device, product or component which is primarily designed, produced, or adapted for the purpose of enabling or facilitating the circumvention of effective technological measures."

This suggests to me that to possess a script which circumvents DRM would count as an offence under that law.

IANAL either, but my (admittedly somewhat cursory) reading of this was that DRM removal was covered by their description of an offence.
