Actually, I don't know where you got that idea.. but breaking DRM is against the DMCA. There are exceptions for test cases and exceptions for when the technology that controls or uses the DRM is no longer feasible.. but you have to be in that "no longer feasible" state in order for that to apply.
Another close one is for removing DRM from ebooks when all versions of the ebook (and all types) have text to speech disabled or are incapable of being read via a screen reader.
Currently, removing DRM is considered circumvention, and thus is illegal.
