It is a legal gray area. It is probably illegal under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to distribute a program that is intended to circumvent Microsoft's DRM. It is more questionable whether it is illegal to use such a program for your personal use. This is where the fair use doctrine and the DMCA come into conflict.
