Smells like some ambulance chaser could turn this into a class action lawsuit and make them really sorry.

In the US, the DMCA prevents you from breaking copy prevention mechanisms AFAIK.

Out here AFAIK there is a law granting the right to make a personal backup copy (just one). But AFAIK that right has not been able to make selling of copy protection on media such as audio CDs illegal.
