How is it definitely in violation of the DMCA? (Not a lawyer and not a USA resident, would appreciate legal clarification)

Any circumvention of DRM, even simple DRM as long as it's not too trivial, is considered illegal under the DMCA. The decryption routines Spotify uses should definitely be considered non-trivial DRM.
Not who you replied to, but if anything decrypts a DRM stream in an unauthorized way, it technically is breaching DMCA. I assume that is what they meant.
