There is no country I know of where removing of DRM is considered legal. In the ones where it is undecided, it is still morally wrong, because you willfully abuse a loophole.
Only because everybody breaks a law, does not make it stupid. Adultery, for example, is either a misdemeanor or felony in the US (depending on state). That is a law that shouldn't need to be there, because it shouldn't even happen. And yet it gets broken regularly. Why? Because it is now morally acceptable to break laws you consider immoral? If you try justify adultery with any moral reasons, then you might as well be accused of hypocrisy.
