It's a dangerous precedent. Think about adblock. You're just choosing to render the data websites give to you differently.
What if you design a web browser that just ignores most blobs of CSS/Javascript and renders content in a very different way. Are you now breaking copyright? Because you're rendering the data differently than the W3C standard or blocking certain elements?
I realize this is specifically about DRM content, but I feel like it won't be a stretch to try to apply these laws to common content.
Lets all start running Gopher servers again... Fuck the modern web.
