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.
