- immibis 3y agoYes, it is. Thanks to Hollywood it's illegal to circumvent a technological protection measure even if the technological protection measure is preventing you from getting what you paid for.

LoC exemptions expire after three years unless the LoC renews them. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/10/28/2021-23311/exemption-to-prohibition-on-circumvention-of-copyright-protection-systems-for-access-control https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/10/28/2021-23...
