Hope that clarifies it for you.

Format conversion is the gateway to piracy.
Didn't you claim that an individual is responsible for safeguarding a file? If you strip the DRM, and someone else manages to get ahold of it and upload it to a file-sharing site, doesn't that make you guilty of copyright infringement and piracy?
Fine with me if you want to cherry-pick which parts of the TOS and copyright to obey and which to ignore, but others may draw distinctions differently and think it's just fine to copy a de-DRMed file to loan to a friend.
