Many conventions buy licenses from the record companies to play the music in the AMVs they show, from what I've read and heard. So the record companies don't bother them about it.

This last sentence is probably true just in practical terms. But your first sentence is not correct, at least in the U.S. where the DMCA outlaws "acts of circumvention." More here (EFF.org). (Skip down to section 2 on that page.)

Or check 17 USC 1201 directly.

Even if you could make a successful appeal using 1201(a)(B), you could still be held liable for trafficking in devices to circumvent copyright protection technologies.

Well, keep in mind that location matters. The DMCA is U.S. Code. Wouldn't necessarily apply to citizens of other countries.
