One may argue that the DCMA is a bad law, but until and unless it is overturned by the courts, it is the law, and if you break it you are committing a crime.
DMCA is an affront to our rights. I am not going to let some stupid law cause me to have to spend money that I may not have to spend on something I've already spent money on. I do believe that if this went to court, that fair use would win out.
