I don't think he is. Reverse engineering for the purpose of enabling interoperability is permitted, and he doesn't know, and therefore doesn't (and can't) disclose, how to circumvent the copy protection.
Granted, somebody could take that information and use it to figure out how to make copies of SafeDisc protected software. The same is true of debuggers, disassemblers, or In Circuit Emulators, which are all legitimate engineering tools. That's just a symptom of the DMCA's biggest problem, which is that it criminalizes perfectly legitimate activities.

Aren't you actually violating the DMCA? since you're practically reverse engineering and making wine work with copy protection based games..
Thanks, Hetz
