No it is a violation of intellectual property law. It doesn't behave
like copyright at all so it doesn't fall under that.
It doesn't behave like copyright? It is copyright. It's part of
Title 17 of the US Code, which is called "Copyrights". And the name
of the law. The Digital Millenium *Copyright* Act. The title of
section 3? *Copyright* protection systems and *copyright* management
information. The treaty it was created to implement? The WIPO
*Copyright* Treaty.
Copyright encompasses a lot of rights beyond just copying.
