This suggests to me that to possess a script which circumvents DRM would count as an offence under that law.
Note that (iv) is a sub-clause of (c) "in the course of a business -". So it's only an offence to possess de-DRM software if it's used in your business. So I think that possession for personal use is not an offence. (But, of course, IANAL.)
