Yeah a more accurate title in these cases is often something like "assumptions of theoretical law don't quite apply in this case or can be otherwise worked around in practice" but that doesn't get clicks.
Another good semi-recent example that comes to mind is the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem being "broken" by compressed sensing.
Calling this particular result "breaking a fundamental law" is just typical hyperbolic science PR.
