Of course, that is not how the DMCA is written. The DRM developer/ rights-holder/etc is not, under the DMCA, under any obligation to implement "good" or "sound" or "proper" DRM. They basically just have to do _something_ they claim protects their rights. It could be as trivial as XOR'ing the digital data stream with a fixed byte/word/dword and anyone who eye-balled the protected data and recognized the "obvious" pattern of the plaintext data with an XOR overlay would open themselves to prosecution (at least, if they ever uttered a description of this "protection").
