Wait a second. I can't believe I didn't catch this until now.

Since when is DRM removal automatically copyright infringement? If you've purchased the material and you're not redistributing it, then you're not infringing on anyone's rights. You just removed a feature that you didn't want. DRM removal and copy right infringement are two entirely separate things.
