what's being circumvented here is the encryption of Wii games. the primary purpose of Dolphin is not to decrypt Wii games, it is to emulate them (in other words, make them interoperable with PC hardware, as pointed out later). the circumvention of encryption is a necessary part of emulation, but it's not the primary purpose.
The DMCA explicitly carves out emulation. What do you think "interoperability" means?
