In this case, it can, actually. Just as v2 hacked copyright law for freedom, v3 is hacking the DMCA for freedom. The moment a vendor like Tivo, assuming they use GPL v3 code, attempts to assert a DMCA claim, they are in violation of their license and lose their permission to use that software.

DRM is a bit of a red herring. Posted Feb 12, 2007 17:23 UTC (Mon) by sepreece (subscriber, #19270) [Link] If TiVo made such a claim, they might be in violation of their license. If the MPAA made such a claim, the user would still potentially face criminal prosecution.
Also, of course, the clause only applies to "the covered work". They're still free to prosecute if you try to hack any associated proprietary software or services.
