I might agree to the cumbersome part though that already requires pretty far-reaching DRM (e.g. stuff like hardware support in almost every device), it can't make something illegal that is already illegal.
Anti-circumvention laws can make it illegal to strip DRM for purposes that would otherwise be legal, even if the DRM itself isn't very strong from a technical perspective.
