The DMCA really fails hard (must be one of the reasons it was made in the lolUSA 
).
The problem is that it turns almost everyone in the USA into a criminal. And the point of law it to make society a better place, not criminalize everyone and have only random people get caught.
Also, modifying a car is also illegal, since it's not allowed by the DMCA to:
"manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in" a device, service or component which is primarily intended to circumvent "a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work," and which either has limited commercially significant other uses or is marketed for the anti-circumvention purpose."
Since a car's parts and design are protected by copyright and the car is protected by screws to change those parts, it's illegal to unscrew them and replace them... unless you have permission from the maker to do so... :')
