There is plenty of software on your local machines that can be hacked risk free. No one will care if you find an exploit in your own IoT doormat.

I wouldn't be so sure about all products you own. If you try tweaking a John Deere tractor they'll sue you!

IANAL, but the UK's copyright laws appear to me to have many of the same restrictions as the DMCA when it comes to circumventing copyright protection measures. And it wouldn't surprise me to find other countries had passed similar laws.
