I assume he's talking about the DMCA and this.

In that case DRM is considered an "Access Control" under 1201.

The way he worded it still sounds wrong somehow, so I wouldn't blame anyone for being skeptical. I have no idea how tested in court this is. The whole DMCA should be unconstitutional anyway.

I should have said removing DRM from "a game you own" instead of "your own game", but context should have cleared that up.

I have a feeling that the courts are corrupt enough to uphold it, regardless of how stupid it seems. Thanks for the direct link. Very helpful to have the exact source on hand, so I'm definitely going to bookmark that one for the future.
