Nothing in the DMCA grants an exception for personal use or lack of a profit motive.
But the DMCA may be illegal unto itself for trying to trounce fair use. We just don't know. So saying DMCA makes it illegal to strip DRM for personal use is wrong. It is unknown if it is or is not illegal. So don't say it is as DMCA may be the illegal thing here.
