I don't know about the US, but in Norway you are allowed to crack encryptions on stuff you have bought.
We had a big case going against some random geek who created a program to remove encryption on DVDs (DeCSS), and he won the first round in court. Second round is scheduled in December, but as of now what he did is considered legal.
Big question is of course if the higher instance will change the first ruling or not.
