As long as I:

1) Don't distribute it.
2) Don't sell it.
3) Don't keep it past the normal library due date, then...

There is no harm. None. Zero.
Honestly this seems reasonable to me from an ethical standpoint. The spirit of the drm, and the law, has been maintained. Incidentally I've never even tried stripping drm.

I think you are making a primarily moral and practical argument. This is not to be confused with a legal argument. A long time ago, one of the best professors I have ever had taught me to never overlap the two.
That professor was wrong, or at least his view is not shared by our justice system, which allows for taking into account "the spirit" of the law; otherwise we could replace judges and juries with computers.
