Depends on where you live. In the US, due to the DMCA, it is not legal to remove DRM. However, currently no one has been charged for removing DRM, especially from content they have paid for.

Paying taxes is not the same as ownership. What you're doing is still technically illegal in many areas, for several reasons. Plus, can you prove what portion of your taxes went to pay for that ebook?
