I don't believe you are mistaken. But "testing" it would require a court case to set the precedent, with attendant time time and legal expenses, and what happens if you lose?
There's a fair bit of stuff like this that probably
wouldn't stand up in court, save that no one affected wishes to spend the time and money required to fight it.
In practice, if you remove the DRM on files for your own personal use, who will know or care? It's when you start sharing the unprotected files that risks appear.
