Copyright law covers nothing of the sort.
There are magazines for the Apple II that have been around for years and
that regularly publish specific instructions to remove protection from
games and applications. No lawsuit has been brought against them.
Programs such as Copy II Mac make it just as easy to copy a program like
Moebius, but Central Point Software is not liable for any damages.
There may be a debate as to how tactful his post was (I would have found
it helpful as a Mac Plus user), but not about its legality.
