LazyBlawg: DMCA Hypothetical

Since 1715 is on hiatus I will post this interesting hypothetical he raised re: §1201 (DMCA): If you enter a password protected/subscription website with a log/pass that is not yours (like generic/generic etc.) could this be a violation of 1201? While I agree that the registration controls access to the work, my thinking was that supplying false information has to be suspected and only if you were to completely bypass registration would it amount to a DMCA violation, whereas, 1715 feels the the language seems broad enough to cover it. Let us know your thoughts.
