To the OP: While the US has a law with wording that seems to make stripping DRM illegal, the few times that provision has come up in cases, courts have disagreed on whether it would apply in a situation like you describe. This has been discussed here a lot.
Well I'm naive enough to believe that laws should be clear, fair, rational and enforceable. Any law I've seen related to DRM removal are none of the above. In such instances I fall back on a 'no harm no foul' stance and I don't worry about it.
