in the US DMCA did infact make alot of Reverse Engineering a violation of Copyright

Most EULA's prohibit Reverse Engineering and companies like Oracle have entire legal teams dedicated to prohibiting reverse engineering going as far as prohibiting people from reporting security vulnerabilities discovered using "reverse engineering techniques"

Further the wide interpretation the courts have allowed under CFAA can easily be applied to reverse engineering as well, i.e "Exceeding authorized use" making reverse engineering of software a felony under US Law

Unfortunately for Oracle if you prohibit people from reporting security vulnerabilities they will just sell them in the black market.
