The confusion is that calibre does all that, except for removing the DRM. Some options that calibre has are only availlable on DRM free books. There is a 3rd party plugin from Apprentice Alf that will install into calibre and take care of the removal of DRM. Without this plugin, which does not come with calibre or from the same place, you are completely safe morally or legally.

And you are right, removing DRM is crossing some legal or moral red tape. Even here in the US it has not been proven in court whether removal of DRM on ebooks is legal under Fair Use or not.
