I think that doesn’t matter because the strength of the lock is generally irrelevant legally.

Weak DRM is still a copyright violation to break in the US; and breaking a rusted 50-year-old lock on an item that doesn’t belong to you is still illegal.

I would hope that EU courts would recognize that anyone importing that software gets liability.
