This sounds like one of those "wishful thinking" laws.

Colombia criminalises DRM cracking

Colombia is the latest country to criminalise copyright violations and introduce stiff new penalties.
President Alvaro Uribe has signed laws that increase both the maximum prison term, from five to eight years, and the minimum term from two to four years.

The laws also introduce criminal sanctions for the violation of technological protection measures. Cracking DRM systems or even copying restricted content is now a criminal offence.
New penalties have also been introduced for anyone providing fraudulent information regarding the distribution of public performance or broadcasting fees to copyright owners.

I can see the crackers and others waving white flags of surrender out of their windows ...NOT  :lol:

Lets be honest here, any goverment that neglects the rights of the consumer, and prefers to penalise every citizen in the land because the US has a loud voice, surely does not represent the ordinary people.
I cant ever see this law being enforced, in fact I suspect it was only put into place as a way to keep the US Media Cartels happy, the same folks that urge congress to block aid and medicines to countries that dont put copyright "US style" as a high priorty.
