Once it hits 70 years from the lifetime of the author (so probably another 80 or 90 years from now) and is in public domain, that might change things since there will no longer be copyright being protected.
In terms of copyright terms, this software is still pretty young, not even halfway to public domain. It's disrespectful to call it "very old".
Defeating a copy protection measure is illegal, even if the copy protection measure is not copyrighted.
I'm not talking about the copy protection, but the software being protected.
Surely if the work being protected isn't copyrighted, there's nothing to circumvent in terms of the DMCA?
A non–copyrighted work can still have a copy protection measure
