Which simply means: "hack all that you want, but don't get caught". Which
is why we have anonymous remailers, the various projects aiming to provide

Besides, you will have a hard time showing that DMCA applies at all. Unlike
with DVD's, the medium and the content are not linked in any way. It is
difficult to see how content owners could have anything to do with
protection measures which aren't their own.
