Two points that usually get brought up at some point in these arguments that I haven't seen in this thread yet, so will include for completeness:
1 - Copyright violation is a civil offense, whereas theft is a criminal offense, at least in the US.
2 - I don't believe it is actually illegal in the US to remove DRM. It is, however, illegal to distribute tools or information allowing someone else to do so. (Again, this is a civil, rather than criminal matter.)
