I took the 5th Circuit court to say removing DRM to access doesnt violate fair use but removing to copy does even if it's for personal use. Also, obtaining and utilizing the decryption software was still prohibited.

The LOC decision specifies text-to-speech use only. If other formats (audio or PC reader) were available (even at a higher cost) then removing DRM was still not permitted.
