The problem with that is that technology changes fast enough that if you try to do it that way the law will have to be updated constantly.
Better is to focus on why you would want to limit DRM, and that's fair use. So companies can have their DRM but circumventing DRM for fair use should not be illegal, and in fact I think companies should make the tools to circumvent their DRM available for cases of fair use; depending on hackers so you can make a backup of your DVD so your kids don't destroy it is kind of silly.
