Surely Windows violates the DCMA in itself as you can turn off autorun therefore by passing the copy protection? Quick get some cops to go and arrest the board of Microsoft for selling DCMA violating software... Who has to complain to get the FBI/cops/whoever to arrest someone for violating the DCMA? Is it the copyright holder or just anyone? At worst all you have to do is pay SunnComm Technologies to protect a few copies of you singing in the shower and you will have a valid complaint.

Censorship laws are very dangerous because they can be selectively enforced by law enforcement with the benefit of confusing a jury. If you wanted to take the ATF's approach, it's not just having a keyboard that is breaking the law, it's the combination of having a keyboard AND the Windows operating system installed....since the protection doesn't work on the UNIX operating system you will be safe if you erase your hard drive and install Linux.
