My understanding (which may of course be wrong) is that currently, DRM-removal is only illegal under UK law if done for commercial purposes. All references to DRM-removal in the copyright act appear to carry a qualifier to that effect.

(Not that it matters from a practical perspective. Nobody ever has been, or is ever likely to be, prosecuted for personal DRM removal.)
