It's still legal in Australia, at least, we never got the anti-circumvention rule the US media companies got into the US trade agreements

Or rather we did, but they have exceptions that cover just about every otherwise legal use case. I can legally decrypt media to play on my Linux machine, for example. I think the only thing we can't legally do is circumvent controls to do copyright violation
