Apparently the USAF was recently sued for violating the U.S. Governments own Digital Millennium Copyright Act(DMCA) by cracking the code that would expire a piece of software.
It seems that the appeals court concerned has ruled that "The United States, as a sovereign, is immune from suit save as it consents to be sued".
Just how often the US Government would actually "consent to be sued' is left as an exercise for the reader.
