To append to this, some one makes a third party plugin for Calibre that does remove DRM. But in the technical aspect of it, the plugin is doing the DRM removal, and not Calibre itself. When you attempt to load a book in to your Calibre library, it passes the info on to the plugin, which runs the ebooks through a series of DRM removal scripts, and the DRM free copies are what actually gets moved into Calibre.
While, legality does vary from area to area, the forum rules themselves prevent me from saying any more about the plugins. We don't want to cause problems for the forum. Legality of such things on a international level are murky. You have the legality to consider for the country the servers are based, as well as those in which the officials for the site (IE, Canadian website, where the admin lives in US has to comply with both US and Canadian law).
