Sec. 1201 (a)(1)(A) of the DMCA includes this language :
No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.
The UK has similar protections via the Anti-Circumvention Rules of the European Union. You can read that information here :

and specifically refer to the following section :

That pretty much kills Fair Use that could previously be argued.
