If my interpretation is correct, there is no problem in producing a sc for ones own use, but of course if someone other than the original author of the the vdr-sc plugin is using it, the author of that plugin is violating the patent.

in some country's even that is illegal - i.e. USA, the DMCA

Whether the user of the plugin is breaking any law in this case is unclear to me. Also, if the service provider has some conditions on which devices to use the leased smartcard you might be breaking them.

even that depends on the local law, using something that is illegal (sc) might by a offending crime that is punished by the law (state), the case of the provider against you for lost money or whatever is then second in the row
