Within the US: It is illegal to create a program/code that removes any sort of DRM or lock of digital material within the US, BUT it is NOT illegal for individuals to use them for personal use as outlined in the fair use exceptions of copyright law.
This is why most of the programmers for these things or at least the location of the server hosting it are outside of the US where it may not be illegal or at least not likely to get caught, and make it freely available on the internet, which includes US users.
