While it's legal to format shift media you own, it's not legal to break DRM in order to do it - though it's okay to break DRM if it is the only way for you to access the content at all. From some close reading
here (from the Ministry of Culture, in Danish) it's my impression that the intent of the law was to bother the ordinary user as little as possible. Hence I think breaking DRM might not necessarily be strictly within the letter of the law, but it is within the intent if you do it to files you have bought and own.
That law was made with a view of digital music and not literature though, so in some cases it doesn't quite make sense.
