The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) generally prohibits circumvention of technological protection measures. On its face, since circumvention is generally required for reverse engineering, this prohibition would prevent reverse engineering of those measures that control access to a copyrighted work. The DMCA contains a limited exception to the ban on circumvention, which permits reverse engineering of the technology by specific classes of people for limited purposes [17 USC

I think that the best example of a fantastic way to avoid-a-copyright-lawsuit-while-still-doing-some-really-"illegal"-work is the Xbox Linux project (sponsored in part by Michael Robertson, also a big hater of the DMCA).
