Regarding the 'terms of service' or EULA (in case of software). Over here you can ignore that completely. The reason is simple. No company can enforce rules that are not in correspondence with the law.
So, if the law permits me to copy a book for personal use, I am allowed to do it. This regardless of any 'terms of service' or agreements I did or didn't agree to.
As long as the law doesn't prevent me to strip DRM, I will strip it. However, it is my choice not to distribute the files. However, if for example my father would love to read the book, he gets a copy. I see that in the same fashion as lending him a book. He too will not distribute it. I see that as my right until the law says otherwise.
On a side-note, if I see how long it take laws to anticipate to new circumstances, it will be a long time before this will happen.
