Thumbs down Digital Millennium Copyright Act - danger for aftermarket engine tuners

I just recently heard GM, Ford and Chrysler have signed up to this act:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digita..._Copyright_Act

Do people realise that this act makes it illegal to modify OEM software and breaches could result in fines and gaol time? In other words, the act makes it illegal to modify the factory EMS software if you want to obtain more power from your engine.
