Hard to believe that DRM has become so intrusive.
From one of the replies to the referenced article:
Quote:
They have gone to great lengths to protect the software from tampering. The software is a copy protection. By disassembling and reverse-engineering it before finally removing it, you have not only effectively circumvented their copy protection, but you have posted it on the Internet, too. In short, you are in violation of the DMCA. Same applies for any other malware or viruses that you circumvent through the use of anti-virus software.
One anonymous coward suggested to make use of other operating systems or even a normal CD player. Again, this would be a way of circumventing the copy protection software, and thereby be in violation of the DMCA.

Looks like getting rid of the malware may be against the law as well.
