Heh... quoting from the referenced article:

|	The DMCA prohibits anyone from publishing or publicly
|	distributing any hardware or software that "is primarily
|	designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing
|	protection afforded by a technological measure that
|	effectively protects a right of a copyright owner."

So if the technological measure is ineffective, then it's OK
to publish and publically distribute it, right?
