SONY DRM debacle

I've resisted commenting on this so far because everyone else is doing it so much better than me.

Now, in the light of the recent EFF DMCA report that suggests that DMCA rulemaking is failing consumers completely and the latest from Mark's sysinternals blog

That was two weeks ago and still there’s no uninstaller. I could write an uninstaller in an hour based on my own research of the software without access to the source code. They have source code and an existing uninstaller. I find the delay utterly inexcusable.

I have to ask the question:

If Mark writes an uninstaller "based on the research of the software without access to the source code" is he guilty of "circumventing copyright measures" as defined by the DMCA?
