It may not matter but are you saying that copying SOMEONE ELSE'S (including a library book or dvd) for YOUR personal use is not prosecutable? Or that copying or de-drm-ing something you own is not prosecutable? The first example would probably depend on the criminal code.
And maybe we need something else clarified - not for you, but in general: somethings are crimes and illegal - punishable by fines or jail time. Other "wrongs" are civil wrongs and one (publisher for instance) may sue for damages but no jail time or criminal fines or penalities attach.
