(1) If the 'you are the product' maxim is true, then this behaviour of GOOG is equivalent to breaking, entering and stealing the product.
(2) This is not an imaginary slight, a corporation wrote a piece of code with a clear intent to bypass a security setting on a user's device. Would the roles be reversed, charges would be brought against human without the need to prove harm or harmful intent -- DCMA is broad enough for that. Why should GOOG be less burdened by its unethical behaviour?
