They certainly violate the DMCA in the USA, and they will also violate the new laws coming down in all european countries because of a european directive. I'm not saying people will be actually sued for breaking a copy protection, but in the USA this is theoretically possible NOW. The DMCA forbids any bypassing of a copy protection device, and this includes patches. It will be interesting to see whether they can actually enforce this, but don't have to much illusions about patches...
