Harry --

This is really too strong a statement. I think it is more accurate to say "you may be committing a crime under the DMCE if you do this." Legal expert's opinions on the matter differ by quite a bit (as in all over the map from "definitely a crime" to "definitely not a crime" and everything in between). And because it hasn't been addressed in any court cases yet, we really don't know for sure whether removing DRM from legally acquired content for personal use only would be committing a crime or not.
