Calibre cannot do that. Calibre plus plugins written by a third party can. The third party that maintains those plugins also produces stand-alone DRM removal tools for the same formats, so it isn't necessary to use calibre at all.

You probably consider this to be splitting hairs. But, your claim that because calibre can be used to pirate ebooks, it is the reason that pirated books exist is pretty facetious and would be hard to prove.
