Are you a copyright attorney? What scrambled or encrypted work are these defendants accused of bypassing/circumventing? Further, if there is some sort of unscrambling/encrypting that is being bypassed - is the plaintiff the copyright owner of the scrambling/encryption scheme to begin with?

And even at that, I believe the plaintiff would have to be able to prove that these defendants actually reverse-engineered the plaintiff’s technology - which is not what it sounds as if they are accusing the defendants of...

What they are saying is that the defendants are breaking the law because it is possible with the defendants technology to grab the data that is going to the monitor and copy it, “Bypassing” the encryption technology.

I know it is incredibly stupid, but it is a very poorly written law. It is the Attorneys job to take advantage of poorly written law.

Well Steve Jobs did say three times in an interview how to buy DRMed files from iTunes and turn them into normal mp3s on your computer. That might be considered circumventing.
