since when did releasing non propagating code constitute a crime???

Ask Dmitri Skylarov about rot-13.  Ask the 2600 crew about deCSS.

Or read 17 USC 1201(a)(2) yourself (http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/1201.html)

(2) No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or
otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or
part thereof, that -

(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a
technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected
under this title;
(B) has only limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to
circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work
protected under this title; or
(C) is marketed by that person or another acting in concert with that person
with that person's knowledge for use in circumventing a technological measure
that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.
