Yes. The technical measures are designed to put the restrictions into the
category of digital copyright restrictions as required by the DMCA laws.

It is still perfectly legal to have the means and discuss cracking _analog_
copyright restrictions (which is why it is legal to sell descrambling cable

were it is illegal to even discuss, in technological details, the means to
circumvent the restrictions.
