The argument is, I believe, that the DMCA doesn't override the "fair use" provisions of copyright law, and some legal experts have offered the opinion that DRM removal for personal use is covered by fair use. But until a case comes to court it's just that - opinion. It's highly unlikely, though, that someone would be prosecuted for removal DRM for personal use. Nobody is being damaged by the practice.
